14.8. ● Meet the Artist
Duration 80 min
Between people and matter, breath and wind, feelings and electricity, “Mesh” by Finnish choreographer Maija Hirvanen reimagines the human in a more-than-human world. Four dancers are caught in a web of entangled life forms, building on the bodily intersections of fungal networks and interspecies communication. In connecting multiple layers of being, these mystical and hybrid stage creatures become ever more enmeshed in the question of what it is to be human.
Artistic direction & choreography Maija Hirvanen
With Marika Peura, Marlon Moilanen, Suvi Tuominen, Pie Kär
Lighting design Heikki Paasonen
Sound design Tatu Nenonen

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.
