Berlin, Tempelhofer Feld Winter 2020 | So close to heaven
+ + + Postponed indefinitely due to COVID-19 pandemic. More info from January 2021. +++
Premiere 10 December 2020
Trees bathed in light have faces, puddles of water reflect mysteriously shimmering worlds, burning shoes rise to the sky on a ladder...
Theatre ANU takes visitors on an installation parcours of light, sound and sculptures: a journey to the ultimate questions, to the beginning and end of our existence.
Philosophical. Profound. Sensual.
As the year draws to a close, the new work by Theater ANU brings light into the dark season: a time of reflection and retrospection meets the hope of a changing future. How do we as people and society deal with the current challenges? How do loss and the unfulfilled desire for social and physical closeness shape us? What does fear and mourning mean?
Stories and poems set to music by classical authors such as Ovid, Pythagoras and Rilke to the poetic texts of Anu author Stefan Behr in combination with light, video and sculpture installations await visitors to the wintry Tempelhofer Feld.
Visitors are guided through the installation in small groups.

Special The Metafiction Cabaret
11-13 Dec: SO CLOSE TO HEAVEN - THE OLD CHILD
The musical performance is integrated into the installation course and offers visitor groups a musically melancholic contemplation and dialogue with their "old" child! All corona-compliant and with a guarantee of warmth.
Their lyrics are ambiguous. Their live show is fantastic. The Metafiction Cabaret is rock concert and theatre, piano and drums, fake blood and confetti. Queer punk. Berlin nightlife on stage, Brecht at Berghain, glitter, art and pop. - and they can also be very quiet...
Gastronomy
The BMB Group's Luftgarten beer garden invites you to enjoy wintery mulled wine and grilled sausage

Rain / Snow / Storm
THE HEAVEN SO NEAR will also take place in light rain (except for severe weather warnings, storms, etc.). We recommend sturdy shoes and rainwear. Please refrain from using umbrellas. There are not always paved paths. Unfortunately, this means that the production can only be experienced with limited accessibility.
