With German surtitles / Turkish / approx. 60 mins.
Camsap discovers an underground cave while playing hide-and-seek: this is the world of the snake queen Şahmaran and many other healers. They live in harmony with animals and plants and have withdrawn from humans. Camsap promises to keep their secret.
The MINA theatre group retells the Persian-Anatolian fairy tale with a theatre and puppet show, live music and a snake choir: inclusive, young and old, and heart-warming. It is about nothing less than friendship and trust, secrets and the healing of the world.
With Berlin bleibt!, Werkstatt Mehringplatz and Treffpunkt Mehringplatz various connections and collaborations between HAU and numerous neighbourhood projects and organisations have emerged and grown in recent years.
This is also the case with the theatre group MINA - Leben in Vielfalt e.V., a place of play and encounter for actors and musicians aged 9 to 50 with and without disabilities. Located on Mehringplatz in Kreuzberg, in the immediate neighbourhood of HAU, they are now performing on the HAU2 stage for the third time.

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.
