Schon allein das Gebaude vom Ballhaus Ost ist meiner Meinung nach einen Besuch von innen wert.
Heute gibts eine kostenlose Performance auf Englisch:
The Close Talker and the Newcomers
A theater play by RUBAN GRILO performed by SUSIE MEYER
(Inhalt s.u.)
Aber auch die Bezahl-Veranstaltungen lohnen sich:
Eine Gruppe von Künstlern aus bildender Kunst, Tanz, Schauspiel, Wissenschaft, Theater, Bühnenbild und Musik stellt jahrlich über 200 Veranstaltungen wie Theater und Tanz, Ausstellungen, Performances, Lesungen, Konzerten und Vortrage auf die Beine.
An actress invites the public to come in to an exhibition set up on the stage of the Ballhaus Ost. For a little less than an hour, she-™ll talk about objects and images unrelated to each other except for the fact that they appear in her narration. A secret performance carried off some days before on the streets of Berlin; the agreement of an actor to perform a given role for his whole life; the story of the mistaken reading of a work by Dan Graham; the myths that surround interpersonal distance; punk culture and many other topics will rest on one basic assumption: that a gentle touch on the arm absurdly and marvellously drove people to accept the confirmation call. The Close Talker And The Newcomers refers to a bigger project that RUBAN GRILO is working on since 2007 revolving around Ev, a fictional character conceived from the beginning as a consequence of the personal and professional relation that the Spanish actor SERGI TORRECILLA and himself have established for the duration of their lives. This relation grows from different experiences organized throughout chapters in the form of performances, videos, photographs and texts. This performance is part of Chapter number two.
