approx. 90 mins.
Ever since its formation 20 years ago, the Stopgap Dance Company has seen itself as a driving force for social change. “Lived Fiction” proposes what inclusive dance could look like in the future: Without barriers. A diverse, multi-ethnic ensemble dances and narrates the vision of equal coexistence. The voice of the audio description plays independently, just as much as the constantly changing surtitles. In solos, duets, and group scenes, the dancers create a powerful utopia based on a community of differences. Dreamlike movements alternate with energetic group choreography. The depiction of the beauty of individual worlds of perception is combined with a poetic, innovative aesthetic of all-encompassing accessibility. A multi-layered, brilliantly danced ensemble work that's as soft as candy floss. And an encouraging blueprint that envisions togetherness beyond all barriers.

Location
HAU2
Hallesches Ufer 34, 10963 BerlinThere are two marked parking spots in front of the building. Barrier-free restroom facilities are available. Four relaxed seats are available in the first row of HAU2. Tickets for wheelchair users and accompanying persons can also be booked via the ticketing system. If you need help, please contact our Ticketing & Service team at +49 (0)30 259004-27 or send us an email to

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.
