Panel: space, practices, and perspectives

The production houses and the independent scene

Dialogue

The independent scene (Freie Szene) is designed as a laboratory and adriving force for a more diverse artistic and cultural cityscape. Its members work in collectives, as soloists, and in temporary coalitions. In their work, they often engage with current social questions and phenomena that lie beyond the scope of the public or city theatre. Instead, they make use of the city at large, perform at unusual locations and open up new cultural realms. The production houses and the independent scene are co-dependent – as venues, platforms, and as a springboard. At the same time, their relation is not always free of tensions: who gets to decide who plays what on the few available stages? What does continuity and trust mean in this collaboration? Which perspectives can the independent scene develop? And which ones does it need?

With Verena Billinger, Monika Gintersdorfer, Cindy Hammer, Alexander Karschnia, Sebastian Matthias / Moderation: Janina Benduski and Bettina Masuch

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.
