On the weekend of September 17th-20th, Gessnerallee finally opens its doors again after shutdown and summer break and under new management we celebrate being together, even if we have to keep our distance. During three days there is a lot to discover, to participate, to listen, to watch and to linger, performative walks through the city, shows and concerts, food and drinks, and even an overnight stay.
Come along! We are looking forward to seeing familiar and new faces – even if they are hidden behind masks!
Your and our safety is important to us! Therefore, during the opening weekend, masks will be required on the whole area and we kindly ask you to keep a distance of 1.5 meters whenever possible.
If you book a ticket for Dragana Bulut on Thursday evening, you can also visit all Open House events on that evening. Also on Saturday evening you can book a ticket for Stephan Stock & Wanja van Suntum or a ticket for Leyla Yenirce & Fathoeburger to all Open House events.
