Ola Maciejewska

BOMBYX MORI

Duration 60 min

Cascades of black fabric wave across the stage, forming short-lived whirls, wings, mythical creatures. In “BOMBYX MORI” Ola Maciejewska takes her inspiration from the in uential avant-gardist Loïe Fuller. She transforms the spectacular costume from the “Serpentine Dance,” in which Fuller draped an endlessly long width of material around her body, into a choreography for three dancers. In doing so the choreographer reveals the critical potential of dancing dresses: her dancers become hybrids of body and object, activity and passivity, human and non-human.

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.
