Indonesian /
With English surtitles /
approx. 100 mins.
The call “Baleo! Baleo!” is heard on the coast of the Indonesian village of Lamalera when the fishermen have spotted a whale. For the villagers, the centuries-old cry means that the ancestors will show themselves with the appearance of the whale and bestow their blessing on the village. “Ocean Cage” is inspired by the stories of the Lamalera inhabitants and focuses on questions of solidarity, economic coexistence and disappearing ecosystems. Through dance, film and music, director and visual artist Tianzhuo Chen creates an immersive and visually powerful maelstrom in which the dancer Siko Setyanto becomes the central protagonist. Together with the musicians Kadapat and Nova Ruth, a mix is created that oscillates between belief in progress and tradition, spirituality and technology.

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.
