Who will join us on an epic celebration of “weltschmerz“ and melancholic woe? Will you let us seduce you on a journey into the heart of darkness and the beauty that comes with it? 

For the first time, 1:1 CONCERTS will be one of the highlights at this year's LABYRINTH concerts by 1781 COLLECTIVE: On Sunday, 12 November 2023, the artist collective invites you to four 90-minute performances all over the premises of Musikbrauerei Berlin. 1781 COLLECTIVE presents a cabinet of curiosities with this 5th LABYRINTH edition on the theme of "MELANCHOLIA". A ghost train of musical and artistic experiences. And we will "seduce" the audience in a special way. With every musical “blind date“ we offer a shining ray of hope and light.

12 micro-performances will showcase the full range of classical music and performance art, presenting the richness of Berlin's independent performance scene. LABYRINTH is a challenging audience experience where YOU are at the centre of the narrative and can explore the entire space of intimate and unique performances at your own pace.

A constant carousel of music, theatre and dance awaits the most intrepid and curious explorers, with secrets and truly awe-inspiring experiences lurking behind every door. Upon entering the LABYRINTH, audiences are encouraged to explore every corner inside the former brewery building. There are up to 12 different performances to explore - offered by Berlin's finest non-traditional artists. Whether you will eventually be approached by our two 1:1 “seducers“ Franziska and Christian to a 1:1 CONCERT, of course, remains a surprise until the end!

Locations

Musikbrauerei Hosts: Franziska & Christian
Greifswalder Str. 23A
10405 Berlin

Just around the corner from Alexanderplatz and Volkspark Friedrichshain, the Berliner Musikbrauerei is located on the historic grounds of the 120-year-old Schneider Brewery. In the golden 1920s and 1930s, lavish balls and parties were held here. During the bombing raids of the Second World War, the cellar served as a shelter before being converted into a communications intercept station by the Stasi in the GDR. Purchased after reunification in the 1990s and independently owned ever since, the venue has been a centre for music production and live events, catering and supporting local Berlin artists and organisations for almost 25 years.
