“Serengeti must not die!” And the people who live there? The experiential performance offers a 360° view of safari tourism, national parks and related conflicts. FLINN WORKS (Berlin) and ASEDEVA (Dar es Salaam), as safari guides, will use lectures and VR glasses to lead us on a final, light-hearted journey into the abysmal world of wildlife conservation.

On Thursday June 15, don't miss our after-show It sparks! event.

"Reading Tosca" – an exciting new choreographic reading of the Puccini opera – is not a staging of this opera but rather a contemporary new composition in movement and sound.

Puccini’s composition is deconstructed and the smallest particles appear as though originating from a hidden space. Thus the music is also a poetic metaphor of fragility as well as a mirror of the opera’s inherent destructive power.
