AP: BERLIN - Living Apartment Together

Artistic director Yves Degryse's company BERLIN celebrates its 20th anniversary with a brand new production that ingeniously tells the extraordinary lives of the residents of a flat block. Living Apartment Together is set at twilight in the city. A group of spectators in headphones watch the side wall of an apartment block in fascination. In six apartments, tableaux unfurl that highlight the poignant beauty of our everyday existence.

​

As if by magic, director Yves Degryse and BERLIN, house artist at NTGent, open up the outer wall of an apartment block like a tin of sardines. The headphones put you momentarily in the midst of things, with the sense that you are eavesdropping from afar as the life of the city whirls around you.

​

Living Apartment Together has its world premiere in Ghent and is the successor of The Making of Berlin, selected as one of the very best performances of 2022 by numerous media and still touring Europe today. The brand new performance of BERLIN is inspired by Georges Perec’s fascinating novel Life A User’s Manual.
