“_ jeanne_dark_” is an Instagram performance par excellence – effectively filtered and highly entertaining. But the show by French director and author Marion Siéfert is also a strong piece of theatre: A hymn to self-promotion and onlooking, a reflexion on the dangers of social media’s hypernormative spaces. The performer Helena de Laurens embodies Jeanne, a rather conformist, seemingly harmless 16-year-old, who grows up in a thoroughly catholic home in a suburb of Orleans. She is not exactly popular and is frequently bullied. But as @_ jeanne_dark on Instagram, she begins to strike poses and to create her own characters. She plays and dances with her smartphone, settles outstanding scores, dresses up and tells stories. She cannot stop talking and is obviously having a ball.
The spectators can watch this metamorphosis on stage and on two video projections of the Instagram livestream – or as her followers on the platform itself. Right before our eyes, Jeanne fragments her personality into a thousand pieces – and reinvents herself bit by bit.

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.
