Integrated audio description / German Sign Language / Relaxed Performance
Part of "NO LIMITS Festival Berlin"
Disability can be an incalculable and unpredictable quantity because it affects our relationship with time and space. This relationship to space and time, which does not correspond to the social norms - "Crip Spacetime" - is likewise reflected in the works of disabled artists. In lectures, workshops and roundtable discussions, the symposium will explore this influence of non-normative perceptions and physicalities on our lives: How do disabled artists use their own experiences to develop unique artistic practices and aesthetics in relation to crip spacetime, so-called "Crip Aesthetics"?
For blind and visually impaired visitors, we offer an audio description (AD) for some performances. AD provides access to the visual elements – e.g. costumes, scenery, actions and movements – through a live audio track. Headphones will be available at the foyer of each venue. Some productions come with an integrated AD.
For the following events we offer a translation into German Sign Language (DGS):
- Nina Mühlemann & Noa Winter „Symposium ‚Explodierende Zeiten, ver_rückte Räume: Disability Art & Crip Spacetime”
Relaxed Performances are aimed at everyone who feels more comfortable in a relaxed environment. The audience space is not completely dark. Strobe light, abrupt changes of light and sudden or very loud sounds are avoided. Audience members can move about or make noise. If you need to take a break, you can go out and come in again during the show.
There are two marked parking spots in front of the building. Barrier-free restroom facilities are available. Four relaxed seats are available in the first row of HAU2. Tickets for wheelchair users and accompanying persons can also be booked via the ticketing system. If you need help, please contact our Ticketing & Service team at +49 (0)30 259004-27 or send us an email to

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.
