HEBBEL AM UFER (HAU) is an important theatrical space in Kreuzberg, the artistic district of Berlin, composed of three neighbouring theatres. Their yearly program comprises of hundreds of events - presentations of both established and young experimental theatre companies from Germany and all over the world, conferences, workshops. HAU also organizes several festivals such as "Polski Express" and dance festival "Context", concerts, exhibitions and innovative intermedia projects (X-Wohnungen). The projects taking place at HAU hardly remain within set boundaries of a particular genre, they tend to explore new forms in unobvious contexts.
FESTIVAL "100° BERLIN" takes place on all stages of Hebbel am Ufer and Sophiensaele, each year since 2003. During this theatrical marathon, called also "the hottest festival in the city" over 120 theatre pieces and performances is presented over four days. Five jury teams awards the artists and groups of young contemporary avant-garde, freely and with distance creating on the fringe of performing arts.
