Instead of simply letting the curtain fall in times of the Corona crisis, many Berlin cultural workers immediately sent a signal of solidarity - and that life goes on despite Corona. Within a very short time, Berlin's theatres and stages have put together a digital programme that is quite impressive. Enjoy!
Livestream HAU Hebbel am Ufer
Until 19 April, Hebbel am Ufer will be showing a selected online programme. The opening of the Spy on Me #2 festival has been moved to the HAU-YouTube channel in an "artistic manoeuvre for the digital present". This means that you can now watch theatre performances, discussions and dialogues, as well as selected films from the HAU from the comfort of your couch.
Livestream Schlosspark Theater
"Butterflies are free" is the current production of the Schlosspark Theater. A beautiful title fitting to spring, which feels a bit strange despite the splendour of blossoms and sunrays outside. Don't let it get you down and join the livestream on Facebook of this love story and comedy about growing up, which ran in the American original on Broadway in the late 60s.
