Guided tour
Start: Box office
English, German
Approx. 1h

As part of the regularly scheduled Historical House Tour, Sophiensæle are examined from the perspective of the building itself - the former Craftsmen's Association hall - and its changing uses and meanings are explored. By looking at the forms of work that took place here in the past and present, we investigate which stories of labor are inscribed in this building and where they can be recognized. From the training of apprentices and cultural and recreational activities at this site, to workers' organizations and struggles of the political left, contemporary forms of artistic and cultural work, as well as forced labor during World War II.

A production by Sophiensæle. Never Work - International Performance Festival is a festival by Sophiensæle, supported by Hauptstadtkulturfonds. Sophiensæle are funded by the Senatsverwaltung für Kultur und Gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt. Media partners: Berlin Art Link, Missy Magazine, Siegessäule, taz.
