Philippe Quesne

The Afternoon of the Moles

Part of the festival “The Mole Keeps on Digging. Animals / Politics / Performance”

Theatre

ca. 60 min.

All children are invited to get in touch with a new species of moles that dwell in their subterranean retreat, waiting for their audience. Blindly but persistently the seven giants struggle with everyday life, and in their big mole-world on stage do whatever seems fun. Director and set designer Philippe Quesne, a master of the magical and the bizarre and a regular guest at HAU Hebbel am Ufer, in this afternoon version of “The Night of the Moles” opens the gates to the underworld especially to young people.

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.
