The roots of the Haus der Berliner Festspiele
At the time of the erection of the wall, the West Berlin government commissioned renowned architect Fritz Bornemann to design a new theatre for the Western part of the city. The Theater der Freien Volksbühne opened its doors in 1963, managed by the theatre director Erwin Piscator until his death in 1966. Having held events there since its opening, in 2001 the Berliner Festspiele took it over, renaming it Haus der Berliner Festspiele.
The Feast of Pan
Staples of the Berlin underground since they found their way here seven years ago, Mad Kate (aka Kathryn Fischer) and Juan de Chamié work within and between the worlds of fashion, music and performance art, raising questions about sex, gender and fantasy. Combining all of their mediums in one, the opening of their EXIT boutique in Kreuzberg was a fashion show titled The Feast of Pan inspired by a Baroque painting, and featuring a filmed orgy. Exberliner was there to capture the decadent event. All photos by Anna Achon
