DÄMONEN (BERLIN)

Berlin, Summer 2024. A group of actors walks through the night. A camera follows them. They roam around the urban environment. Starting point: the Gorki. The old plane tree in the garden. Squares. Paths. Stories. What do we know about the history of places? What stories do the actors take with them through the city? Stories and thoughts meet the stories of a city. A search for both the traces of something of one’s own in the past, as well as for whom and by whom these squares, streets, buildings and spaces were made. This is your city. This is our city. But does the city know that?

With Dämonen (Berlin), resident director Sebastian Nübling and director Boris Nikitin link back to their first joint work at Theatre Basel. Every evening a new live film is created which is broadcast on a screen in the Gorki.


Premiere 28/June 2024
