Testing Stage

Hebbel am Ufer - HAU 1, Berlin

Nevin Aladağ, Keren Cytter, Phil Collins, Simon Fujiwara, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster and Ari Benjamin Meyers, Tobias Rehberger

Live, current, transitory, temporary—theatre and performance art combine a number of basic principles. From it's very beginning the HAU has been opening the theatre spaces for visual artists. That has led to a lot of cooperative projects, some of them were existing works, which were placed in a different context by being brought into the theatre, and some of them were new, made especially for our theatres.

For the "Testing Stage" festival, the HAU has once more invited visual artists—this time to show their works in performative formats. Performance is an everyday concept for the theatre, and is experiencing a boom in the Visual Arts. Performance Art can now point to a canon, a repertoire and a legacy—which is critically examined by the latest generation. Issues such as authenticity and repetition, truth and fiction, original and fake line up in the discussions surrounding performance art, which has now moved into a phase of museum retrospectives. What do members of the young generation think of this canon and where are they doing things differently?

Along with new works by Keren Cytter, Phil Collins, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster / Ari Benjamin Meyers, Nevin Aladağ, Tobias Rehberger and Simon Fujiwara, we are holding an all-night Performance Night in two of our theatres as well as a Long Night of Artists' Music.
