In a world with less and less space for art, there’s nothing much left for the two actors Mikey and Georgie to do but to earn their daily bread by taking odd jobs with a security service. Their latest gig paradoxically brings them back to the theatre. They are supposed to guard a theatre curtain – and whatever might lie behind it. But things are about to get out of hand as the guards find themselves infiltrated by a rival security company composed of ex-ballet dancers, who are not only artistically more up to date, but also faster and cheaper, and who want to take over this important gig at any cost. After two years of absence Nature Theater of Oklahoma returns to HAU Hebbel am Ufer with a furious choreography that draws from almost everything on offer, blending it into a political-grotesque work: ballet, silent film, slap stick, calisthenics, predatory animal behaviour, and modern dance accompanied by the music of “The Nutcracker”.

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.
