Marlene Monteiro Freitas
De marfim e carne - as estátuas também sofrem / Of ivory and flesh - statues also suffer
- Dance
80min
Seven statues fallen out of time wake up to a new life on stage. They move mechanically to the music of cymbals and the trace beats of Omar Souleyman and try to transform into humans. In this ball of stone characters, Marlene Monteiro Freitas uses physical dynamics and daring metamorphoses to create a fascinating baroque-burlesque aesthetic of surreal beauty. Trailer

tickets@hebbel-am-ufer.de.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.
