Season 2024/25 – Sophiensæle | Freies Theater in Berlin
Program
Season 2024/25
The June & July programme
Ariel Efraim Ashbel and friends return with their performative walk from June 4. Dialectics of Departure featuring Rachel Libeskind leads the audience through Mitte, encounters multi-layered narratives and offers new perspectives on Jewish histories and futurisms.
On 06.06. we look forward to the premiere of Carbon Negative - Kompensations-Performance. Flinn Works presents innovative ideas and certified options from the CO₂ compensation laboratory. Between laboratory, interaction and audiovisual performance, Carbon Negative opens up a space for reflection, irritation and possibilities for action.
The new premiere by Simone Dede Ayivi & Kompliz*innen can be seen from 19.06. Hä?! is an evening about understanding and misunderstanding in the migration society and the question of how we do not lose all the achievements of recent years despite the shift to the right.
From June 14 to September 14, the 13th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art will present its program at four exhibition venues: KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Sophiensæle, Hamburger Bahnhof - Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart and in a former courthouse on Lehrter Straße in Berlin-Moabit. In addition to the exhibition in the Sophiensæle canteen, The Beggars' Convention, 2025 by Major Nom mit Shu1o1O, Ngar galay (Little Fish), Larmashee will take place in the Festsaal on the opening weekend of the biennial.
At the end of the season on 3 and 4 July, Brazilian director and performer Jéssica Teixeira will embark on her first European tour with her award-winning work MONGA - with two performances at the Sophiensæle. In MONGA, Teixeira continues her intensive exploration of the politics of the body on stage. Based on personal experiences and historical figures, Teixeira develops a powerful solo that confronts the audience's gaze with immediacy, vulnerability and resistance.
