Detroit – Berlin: One Circle traces the intimate relation of two repeatedly written off and yet symbolically over-determined places. The imagery of a civilization in ruins that has been associated with both cities evokes an almost mythological anti-glamorous austerity. At the same time, both cities are, in the pop-cultural consciousness of the 1980s, invariably connected to the rapid development and dissemination of techno music. The festival does, however, not only focus on the rich musical exchange between both cities. It also takes the equally productive fields of artistic practice and urban policy debates into account.

The title of the festival refers to the title of Robert Hood’s track “Detroit: One Circle.” It is the result of a cooperation between a great variety of agents, primarily from sub- and pop-cultural communities, but also from activist circles engaged in (grassroots) movements.

A festival by HAU Hebbel am Ufer. Supported within the framework of the Alliance of International Production Houses by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media. Detroit – Berlin is part of “Claiming Common Spaces,” a project by the Alliance of international Production Houses. The artistic residencies are supported by the Goethe-Institut and HAU Hebbel am Ufer.
