Part of the Festival “The Mole Keeps on Digging. Animals / Politics / Performance”
START: 4pm, Am Lustgarten 1, 10178 Berlin
Moles, keeping out of sight from humans, are simultaneously present and not-present through their holes and mounds. At the start of “The Mole Keeps on Digging. Animals / Politics / Performance” a horde of gigantic tunnel diggers leave their familiar biotope, making its way through the city in processions in “The Parade of the Moles”. Personifying a secretive world, the nearly blind animals, brought to Berlin by Philippe Quesne, take over public space to reveal what humans cannot perceive. All Berliners are invited to follow along!
