House is back with another edition inside the Halle am Berghain. ‘A Shroud of Woven Solar Threads’ focuses on 4,000 year old Mithraic culture. The exhibition brings together two states: a past that is irretrievable and a future that is unknowable. Standing at the center is the Sun which, according to ancient Iranian cosmology offers life, power, illumination and danger all at the same time.

Florentina Holzinger offers the Volksbühne a hand in getting ready for the season ahead with a special cleaning session. The indisputable star of this year's Venice Biennale, Holzinger is known for her boundary-pushing shows that blend dance, theater, and circus.
