The Next Day #5: Berlin Weekend Guide
From 30 of June to 2 of July.
Hi there!
Looking for a fun weekend? Check out the parties happening all around town! Whether you're into post-punk, Carioca funk, techno, Anatolian beats, house, or experimental electronic music, there's something for everyone day and night. Here are some options. Take your pick!
While theater productions are taking a break this summer, you can still catch "Ofelia's Got Talent," a stunning production by Austrian choreographer Florentina Holzinger that was selected for TheaterTreffen 2023. The performers are absolutely amazing, and the show is sure to leave you in awe. Plus, don't miss the premiere of the second production of Aba Naia's collective “Super Superficial,” directed by choreographer Kyzy Fischer this Friday.
If you're into art, we recommend checking out "Judit Reigl: Centers of Dominance" at the Neue Nationalgalerie”. The opening will be on Friday.
We invited DJ and producer Terr to share her secret spot in Berlin and the event on her radar. And for those who want to start next week on the dance floor, there are events for that too.
And don't forget, this Sunday there's free admission to museums.
Tschüss, hab ein tolles Wochenende!
