About the Festival:

Expat Expo: A Showcase of Wahlberliner

Held from June 1-7, the Expo features a curated selection of performances by multiple artists in every genre imaginable. Each evening features a curated selection of performances: on the 1st of June you are welcomed to enjoy successively NIYAR - A PAPER TALE,  a puppet theater show made all out of paper by Maayan Iungman, UNDER THE GUN, an extravaganza by Theater Group Berlin featuring Rich Bray, and I DON’T HAVE A LINE, by so sick communications, a multifaceted performance  based on the idea that dancers are constantly heckled by their choreographers and teachers and inevitably by themselves before the audience even has the chance to pass judgment.
