Philippe Quesne

Fantasmagoria

  • Performance
  • Theatre
French /  With German subtitles /  With English subtitles /  55 mins.
Photograph of a stage on which numerous upright pianos have an open case so that the hammer mechanism is free. Human skeletons hover above them. The foggy room makes the lighting appear dramatic.

For this magical and eerie evening, Philippe Quesne orchestrates an actorless theater. The protagonists are flying skeletons, whispering voices, and lone pianos on which choruses of the dead resound. A fantastic world that brings the centuries-old magic of the laterna magica onto the stage.

The event on 2.3. can be combined with the concert by Mazaher.

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.
