Görli Dreamin’ explores the sensory opulence of urban experience, which confronts the perceiving, moving and sounding human body with an overwhelming materiality.

The chosen field is the neighborhood of Görlitzer Bahnhof, one of the most complex urban hot spots of Berlin. The outcome of the field research is a performance structure, which creates a poetical reference to the chronotopos of Görlitzer Bahnhof subway station.

We are questioning the interdependencies:
the urban space is perfusing, inspiring and conditioning its inhabitants, but at the same time the urban space is created by their actions and perceptions. The roles of performer and of audience are blurred and permanently changing: are we the observers or are we a part of the picture while coming on “stage” of Görlitzer Bahnhof?
