Meg Stuart / Damaged Goods & Münchner Kammerspiele

Built to Last

  • Dance
120 min

In “Built to Last”, Meg Stuart confronts five performers with overwhelming classical and contemporary music, written by artists such as Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Iannis Xenakis, Meredith Monk, and Arnold Schönberg. Almost all of these compositions have influenced music history in a significant way. As if being carried away by a time machine, the performers are forced to deal with constantly changing situations and states of consciousness. The journey made on stage can’t be described in any logical way. Nevertheless, the encounter of the performers with the music gradually exposes a glimpse of the “condition humaine” or a trace of human secret desires.

With special thanks to Lena Lauzemis

Production: Damaged Goods (Brussels) and Münchner Kammerspiele. With the support of the Flemish Authorities and the Commission of the Flemish Community. Presented in the context of House on Fire with the support of the Cultural Programme of the European Union.

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.
