What does dying taste like? Why is everyone afraid of it? Can a soul be composted? How can I avoid being reincarnated as an earthworm? Developed from the joint reflections of children, adolescents and adults with and without so-called disabilities, “Welt ohne uns” (“World without Us”) welcomes audiences to an irritating confrontation with life and death. Beyond esoteric kitsch and religious oversimplification, both serious and light, this performance dissects the cycle of life. Served up with morbid humour, intense elements of body art and an extravagant visual language, an existential-philosophical trip unfolds, extracting fundamental questions from the pale ribs of the unimaginable. The piece consciously confronts a topic that has often been suppressed.
“Welt ohne uns” is the first collaboration between the inclusive ensemble Meine Damen und Herren and the intergenerational collective SKART/Masters of the Universe, both of which experimentally explore the possibilities and opportunities of democratic and collective work processes.

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.
