How Love Moves: Prelude

During Pallavi Paul&rsquo;s time as Artist in Residence 2023, the Gropius Bau presents a prelude to her upcoming solo exhibition in 2024. In How Love Moves: Prelude, a scenography around the three-channel video installation Cynthia Ke Sapne / The Dreams of Cynthia (2017) transforms the historic Schliemannsaal into a twilight space between wakefulness and sleep.

In Between Frequencies

Soundshapes &ndash; In Between Frequencies activates the two entrances of the Gropius Bau with sound works by Kapwani Kiwanga and Janine Jembere, creating an acoustic connection between the central entrance portal and the step-free entrance. Drawing from the potential of porosity, this architectural intervention challenges the monumentality and statics of the building.

General Idea

Dana Michel

Performative contemplations on the topic of work are the focus of Dana Michel&rsquo;s piece &ldquo;MIKE&rdquo;. How can we learn to trust each other in this society? In a space wide open for interpretation, we become witnesses to these contemplations.

RambaZamba Theater &amp; Tom&aacute;s Saraceno

&ldquo;aerocircus &ndash; eine circensische karnevaleske mit planwagen/ entgegen aller linearit&auml;ten&rdquo; combines the debate about the climate crisis with inclusive theatre. In a spatial concept by Tom&aacute;s Saraceno, the actors of RambaZamba Theater gradually reconcile themselves with the ruined planetary habitat.

General Idea, P is for Poodle, 1983/89

The artist group General Idea challenged the art world and society at large. Often through humour and satire, they adressed various aspects of consumer culture and social inequalities. On 22 September, the Gropius Bau opens the most comprehensive retrospective on the trio ever produced.

The massacre, hostage-taking and rocket attacks by Hamas have shaken us deeply. The grue-some attack on Israel on 7&nbsp;October left us stunned and initially lost for words.

The Berliner Festspiele on Current Events in Israel, Gaza and Germany

With this letter of intent, we, the signing cultural organizations, express our intention to welcome, host and stage Ukrainian theatre artists in our venues, to make Ukrainian dramatic work visible to the European community.
