Noé Soulier

The Waves

Duration 70 min

What does a gesture imply? How does the meaning of a movement unfold? In his precise choreographies Noé Soulier anatomises individual elements of movement and reduces them to their essence. He connects the philosophical and the artistic, and examines the relationship between movement and thought. In his new production, “The Waves,” the French choreographer and trained philosopher assumes that we associate complex experiences with physical movements and postures, and develops a vocabulary of gestures that activates the body’s own memory.

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.
