Oskaras Koršunovas

Nachtasyl

Theatre

ca. 75 min

The theme of Maxim Gorki’s play “Nachtasyl” (“The Lower Depths”) still feels  relevant in our times: lost souls – written off by society, dreaming of a better life –  contemplate life’s existential questions. In Koršunovas’ production a long table  covered in a white cloth and several bottles of vodka fuel the explosive questions  about the value of human life, the sincerely told stories of their own existences and the expression of their own hopes and desires. Director Oskaras Koršunovas on his  production: “This is our first theatrical performance in which we don’t concentrate on  the result, but seek to test and discover ourselves, so that the actors not only create  their characters, but also retain the reality and remain themselves.”

Latest information for arrival:

There is currently a construction site on Hallesches Ufer between Wilhelmstraße and Möckernbrücke underground station. There is a divided replacement route for pedestrians (right) and cyclists (left), which are separated by a yellow ground line. The carriageway is narrowed to one lane.

Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:

If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.

Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:

When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
