Ute Lemper ’s Berlin Nights

Tap into the seedy underground of Berlin and experience the world of cabaret like never before.  Featuring German singer and actress Ute Lemper who starred in the original Paris production of Cabaret, the show will capture Lemper's unique artistry and compelling dramatic presence as she performs to edgy sounds by revolutionary composers such as Weill, Hollander, Spoliansky and Eisle – all of whom were known to have crossed boundaries and challenged taboos during World War I and II.

November 16, tickets cost $480 and $680

Berlin Street Art with WENU

Berlin Street Art with WENU

When it comes to Berlin, it would be remiss to not mention the Berlin Wall. Not only does it hold great historical significance to the country, but over the past decades, the wall has also evolved into a gigantic canvas for street artists, graffiti art and shameless commercialism. Inspired by this, Berlin’s artistic collective WENU will join hands with
local talents to create a large-scale piece of street art right in the heart of Tai Kwun's Parade Ground. Open to the public with free entry, you are invited to witness the
creation of this artwork.

November 4 onwards, free to public

The Flying Steps

Stomping and spinning their way into the final weekend of Projekt Berlin, The Flying Steps, a Berlin breakdancing group will be putting on a series of spontaneous dancing performances for the unsuspecting public throughout the day. Going from humble beginnings to taking on championships, world tours and even establishing an urban dance academy, The Flying Steps will join forces with local street performers to entertain the crowds – we can’t think of a better way to end the festival!

November 16-17, free to public
