Das Stück mit der Zweckmäßigkeitsfrage
Part of the Newcomers Platform of the Performing Arts Festival Berlin
- Theatre
Behind every private project, we are shocked to realize, a much larger project lies hidden, so private that it’s even secret – and it follows an unnamed purpose. But how to make it visible, how to pin down its authors, put a stop to its agents?
At the height of the debt crisis came “Das Stück mit der Zweckmäßigkeitsfrage”, a theatrical essay about the purpose and purposelessness of art and economy. It is an exercise in demeanour for artist and audience alike, and an odyssey in which the creators of the project invent a detective and investigate into their own affairs. Like Robinson Crusoe, they are stranded on a desert island, ultimately asking themselves: How do we actually get out of this mess?

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.
