Dear Berlin family, gather around!
Two extraordinary solo performances invite you to an evening that balances depth and lightness: Brain Healing takes us on an intense journey through inner conflicts, while ha ha ha hi! explores, in a delightfully quirky way, how failure can become a form of art. Prepare to be surprised, moved, and laugh!
Both pieces were selected from numerous submissions to the open call for Rohmaterial #2. The new event series “Rohmaterial” offers artistic productions at an early stage, the opportunity to perform in front of an audience. These works are fresh, vibrant, and eager to engage with audience reactions—a unique dialogue between art and spectators that continues to shape the creative process.
Be part of it and support these new works by Berlin-based artists in their creative journey.
We are very happy to present the two shows for the evening of June 14th:
Show 1 – Brain Healing – Rixa Rottonara

‘Brain Healing’ is a solo performance in which I work with contemporary circus, dance and acting. The performance incorporates video installations that open up a second narrative level. In terms of content, is about a young woman who is coming to terms with her partner’s sudden break-off from contact, trapped in her own emotional world, from anger to revenge and self-alienation, she makes a decision.
Show 2 – ha ha ha hi! – Felix Baumann
ha ha ha hi! – a one man show where circus meets comedy –

With his newest solo performance at the interface of circus, physical theater, stand-up
comedy and object manipulation Felix Baumann continues his work on the theme of
“BODY, COMIC & MATERIAL” and devotes himself to humor as a tool of cultural practice.
In ha ha ha hi! a mediocre comedian attempts to tell a joke with a life-changing impact.
However, he usually lacks the words or the right microphone setting for a real
breakthrough. As he grapples with his shortcomings, he ultimately embraces absurdity,
employing every tool at his disposal to create moments of comic folly.
