55 songs for 55 years of queer history: In this opulent four-hour concert show rich in emotions, Taylor Mac, Matt Ray and an ensemble of 20 artists sing one song for each year that has passed since the first queer Pride Parade in 1970. A celebration of memory and community, “a rock opera meditation on queerness”. “Bark of Millions” is the first show of this year’s Performing Arts Season.

In “Il Cimento dell’Armonia e dell’Inventione”, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, Radouan Mriziga and the Belgian dance company Rosas sound out disconcerting developments in the relationship between human beings and nature in an exploration of Antonio Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons”. And still, they also find opportunity for contemplation in familiar sounds.

Playing, laughing, making noise, letting off steam, doing nothing – all in an exhibition venue! With BAUBAU, the artist Kerstin Br&auml;tsch designed an&nbsp;admission-free play space for kids, where more is allowed than forbidden. On the Gropius Bau’s ground floor, colourful wallpapers, structures, objects and open-ended material called “loose parts” configure flexible spaces that are shaped by children’s activities.

For more than three decades, Rirkrit Tiravanija has been expanding the possibilities of what can happen in an exhibition space. As part of his practice, the artist creates situations that offer space to eat and drink, play and rest. They encourage chance encounters, relationships and their failure – in other words: life.&nbsp;The exhibition&nbsp;DAS GL&Uuml;CK IST NICHT IMMER LUSTIG&nbsp;(Happiness is not always fun)&nbsp;presents more than 80 of the artist’s works created between 1987 and 2024.

In two seminars during the summer semester of 2024, students from the Berlin University of the Arts and the University of Hildesheim have explored the festival’s history from various perspectives. In this film, the participants give a first look at how they dealt with their research subject.
