Rabih Mroué

So Little Time

Part of the festival “The Aesthetics of Resistance – Peter Weiss 100”

Theatre

Arabic / English / approx. 70 minutes

In his new production Lebanese director and actor Rabih Mroué examines the interrelations between the myths, self-representations and depictions of martyrs. What happens when someone presumed to be dead suddenly turns up again, encountering his own image as a larger-than-life myth working between fiction and documentary. Mroué peels off layer after layer to expose the contradictions of political and historical visual language.

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.
