Tomas Schweigen / Far A Day Cage

Urwald

  • Theatre

Since 2007, the majority of people in the world live in cities. At the same time, in Switzerland and Germany alike, the surface area of forests has grown significantly. What do these two developments have in common? The Zurich-based group around Tomas Schweigen rehearsed in Bödmerenwald, the largest virgin forest in the Alps, and continued developing the results into a play in the middle of the city. Does it take the spectator along on a trip to the origins? Or does it lead us into the future?

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.
