“We never wanted to take drugs. And we don't dance at raves, football matches, or church, either. We are suspicious, always have been, and even more so since Covid: everything seems intrusive, garish, harder than before. We're alienated. We’re sucked into participating in this hell. The pandemic has justified individualism. And everything we've ever known about dissolute communal states, we've forgotten.” In their new work, She She Pop are calling for intoxication. They want collective euphoria. “High” is a ceremony in a convertible tent. She She Pop welcome the audience to gather together behind a banner with an as yet undisclosed inscription. With explicit consideration of all oppositions and differences, they find a rhythm, practise a procession, and eat from the dough that bears the imprint of all hands. Until the melancholic, neoliberal ego monster is anaesthetised. Until everyone jumps out of their skin and breathes a sigh of relief: all together. High time.

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.
