Ersan Mondtag / NTGent

De Living / The Living Room

Theatre

approx. 80 min

“De Living” (“The Living Room”) is about the last hour in a person’s life. The performance begins with a woman coming home and ends with her suicide. Or the other way around? Can we also narrate this last hour backwards, bringing the woman back to life? The spectators can only speculate about the protagonist’s past and the reasons for her death. For the first time HAU is co-producing a new work by Ersan Mondtag, which premieres at NTGent.

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.
