Tamer Yiğit
Berlin-DNA
- Theatre
German /
80–100 min.
Berlin beats. Berlin speaks. Vertically. Horizontally. Polyphonically. The city gets at you. Gets under your skin. Into you. Stresses you out. Gets on your nerves. Becomes part of your DNA. Its often touted ‘diversity’ or the special sound that makes the city so unique can be seen as a clash of the most divergent vitas, as a coming together not just based on mutual respect but as a simultaneity of competing viewpoints. A century after the creation of Walter Ruttmann’s “Berlin – Symphony of a Metropolis,” we might ask whether the palpably contradictory energies at work in the city can be contained in one narrative or whether the attempt to control them is doomed to failure. In “Berlin-DNA” the Berlin director, actor and musician Tamer Yiğit tells stories about what makes up the life flow of the city: diffuse fears, everyday struggles for survival, the fragility of characters in search of recognition and identity, the conflicts that result from hyper-individualism and self-empowerment.

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.
