La Ribot with Dançando com a Diferença

Happy Island

Duration 60 Min

Language Audio Description 

Where do the boundaries of movement and our imagination lie? The renowned artist La Ribot and the inclusive company Dançando com a Diferença, from Madeira, have abandoned themselves to a process of discovery: in the performance “Happy Island” they travel along their desires and visions, exploring unsettling intensities, creating temporary, imaginary dream places. In images both intimate and extravagant, they tell of community and the right to freedom.

Latest information for arrival

There is currently a construction site on Hallesches Ufer between Wilhelmstraße and Möckernbrücke underground station. There is a divided replacement route for pedestrians (right) and cyclists (left), which are separated by a yellow ground line. The carriageway is narrowed to one lane.

Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:

If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.

Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:

When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
