[Translate to EN:]

Dark and Light, the unconscious and the conscious – in “Celestial Sorrow,” everything seems to communicate with each other. For the HAU co-production, Meg Stuart, who received the Biennale de Venezia’s Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in 2018, collaborated for the first time with the visual artist Jompet Kuswidananto. In each of his works he researches the history of Indonesia and the complexity of existence in a globalized world. Departing from fictional traumas, Stuart and Kuswidananto create a vibrant world of light and movement, inhabited by three performers (Jule Flierl, Gaëtan Rusquet, Claire Vivianne Sobottke) and two musicians (Mieko Suzuki, Ikbal Simamora Lubys). Together the group embarks on an ex­ploratory journey, moving through imaginary and invisible spaces.

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.
