Tomorrow would have been the re-opening of »Echoing Europe: Postcolonial Reverberations« at Ballhaus Naunynstrasse. However, this week, the gramophone, the shellacs, the reel-tapes, and radios shall remain silent, and the stage dark, until we could gather again as a community in the theatre.
The Berlin Senator for Culture and Europe, Dr. Klaus Lederer, has decided, after consultation and in agreement with the directors of state theatres, operas and concert halls and of private theatres–including Ballhaus Naunynstrasse— to completely discontinue all theatre schedules from 13th of March, until 19th April 2020. This means that this month’s reprise of “Echoing Europe” has been cancelled.
However, Pepê Dayaw and I will continue with the planned online stream of the durational performance Pasyon-Cuaresma 2020 on Maundy Thursday/Good Friday. We will keep you posted about this. I hope you are all keeping safe and healthy! And I wish you all a meaningful and creative time in our collective social distancing.
