Berlin is a “Water City”, with the Spree and the Havel as the main rivers. The huge and complex canal system gave Berlin the nick name: “Little Venice”. The performance site is perfectly situated between Berlin main station and the river Spree. Here we are able to draw a large crowd of performance spectators as well as hundreds of passers by, tourists, families on their day out etc. The site which is the new urban centre of the city after re-unifation is surrounded by various significant characters and buildings of Berlin: the government district, the river Spree that had it’s course altered in order to build the main train station, the river Spree also stand for the former border between East and West Berlin.
With the performance we are creating awareness about water as the essential resource to live. In the performance we are creating images to show that the abundance of water we have in Germany is not applicable to the rest of the world. In many countries drinking water is not accessible, dirty water causes illnesses, private waters are causing wars, etc.
We cooperate with different ecological and political associations in order to inform people and support local action for accessible and clean water. Getting informations about the situation in different countries of the global south helps to understand the necessity of action for water as well as through the tangible performance.
