One person has their head on the other person's chest. In the background stretches a mountain landscape and a wind farm.

A trans romance between insta-reality and sci-fi dystopia: The images captured by Samira Elagoz, together with his collaborator Cade Moga, show a relationship between two trans men, from first encounter to decisive parting, in a radically personal way. In the middle of a lockdown somewhere in the desert around L.A., with just a car, some cash, and a supply of testosterone the lovers expose the dynamics of masculinity and femininity.

Notes:

“Seek Bromance” by Samira Elagoz in collaboration with Cade Moga illuminates and discusses important contemporary issues. HAU Hebbel am Ufer was made aware of the existing conflict between the two protagonists. After a thorough examination of the resulting problems and against the background that distribution and production were contractually regulated, HAU decided to present the artistic work.

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.
