Staged by DISAPPEARING BERLIN.

Spiegelsaal / Clärchens Ballhaus
Auguststraße 24, 10117 Berlin-Mitte

Clärchens Ballhaus has been closed since the beginning of January! We are making it open to the public one more time before a new chapter begins and renovations start at the legendary dance hall. Within the framework of DISAPPEARING BERLIN we are creating a vision in which Clärchens Ballhaus will continue to exist as a place for dance, art and music for everyone. In its famous mirror hall (Spiegelsaal), Mohamed Bourouissa, together with a group of artists, unfolds a narrative between Beirut and Berlin, two cities that are as different as they are connected. In live music, films and photographs, fragments of these two cities overlap to form a poem about disappearance and displacement, change and freedom – and about the potential of art and shared artistic vision as driving forces in the development of these cities. Between the artists, a multifaceted collage of their artistic practice, their languages and identities emerges, reflecting in the story of Clärchens Ballhaus.

With screenings by Mohamed Bourouissa and 2038; live music by Tony Elieh, Youmna Saba and Sina XX; music by Dorine Potel and a DJ/VJ set by Paulina Greta, Sina XX and Mohamed Bourouissa
