Performance at Theatertreffen: Doughnuts (Toshiki Okada)HAU 2
HAU 2
Address: Hallesches Ufer 32, 10963 Berlin-Kreuzberg | Map As part of the Campus experience, we will go and see the performance Doughnuts by Toshiki Okada together, from the programme of the festival Theatertreffen. Performance in German with English subtitles. In a hotel lobby, several guests are waiting for a taxi to take them to a conference. Outside, an increasingly dense fog envelops the city; inside, the waiting experts are conducting carefully assessing, looped discussions on how to proceed. Should they continue to wait for the taxi or try to find an alternative? Director and author Toshiki Okada and his cast have created a show of perfectly balanced rhythm and choreography, where verbal and physical acrobatics go hand in hand and there is still room for interpretation. The performance will be followed by a talk with the artists. Watch the trailer for Doughnuts here. |

Performance at Performing Arts Festival: How to kill a Fascist? (Felix Meyer-Christian)Ballhaus Ost
Ballhaus Ost
Address: Pappelallee 15, 10437, Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg | Map As part of the Campus experience, the group will go and see the performance How to kill a Facist?, directed by Felix Meyer-Christian. Performance in German, French and Spanish with English subtitles. Is there a just tyrannicide? A justifiable militant resistance? An ethical terrorism Costa Compagnie follows the path of Monika Ertl with cautious skepticism and questionable admiration. The daughter of Leni Riefenstahl’s cinematographer joined the Bolivian Liberation Army at the end of the 1960s and executed the officer who had Che Guevara and his successor killed. Can anti-fascism go that far? The team filmed in the Bavarian Alps, in Paris and Lyon, in La Paz and the Andes and spoke with famous Nazi hunters Serge and Beate Klarsfeld, as well as survivors of torture under Bolivia’s military dictatorship. Political convictions, justice, vengeance and the quest for power – actress Karin Enzler (Switzerland), punk musician Stéphanie Morin (France) and choreographer Maque Pereyra (Bolivia) fight their way through history to the present in three cinematic-performative solos. The Costa Compagnie from Berlin creates intermedial works that combine documentary, performative and choreographic methods and are realized in immersive performances as well as in virtual reality and film. Their work focuses on global political conflicts and upheavals and looks at those people that are otherwise often underrepresented in art, media and politics. Therefore, the group has researched and filmed in Afghanistan, Israel, Iraq, the USA, Fukushima/Japan, Mozambique, South Sudan and Lebanon, among other places.
