ON THE ROAD TO NEW YORK
Live photo & film show by and with Elisabeth Oertel, Efy Zeniou, Anne Knödler, Kaupo Holmberg and Johannes Fötsch
Five friends, two years and the search for a land route from Berlin to New York City. This is the extraordinary story of an authentic road movie. In a constant battle against wind, weather and Siberian tiger mosquitoes,
Kazakh thunderstorms and Russian technology, the five graduates of European art colleges set off on the long journey in their "Ural 650" with sidecars.
The small collective of artists chugs 43,000 kilometers over the finest tar, endless bumpy roads, desolate forest paths, through deep swamps and raging rivers, always heading east - with countless stops and invitations to stay. The people they meet open their homes to them, help with repairs and tell their stories.
They cross the "Road of Bones", stand trial in Kazakhstan and wander through the Mongolian steppe. They travel 1600 kilometers along the Kolyma River to the mouth by raft - powered by the engines of their machines. After the Bering Strait, they travel along the west coast to Los Angeles and finally to the destination of their adventurous journey: New York City.
Experience this hair-raising adventure, which won DISCOVERY DAYS in 2017 and has enjoyed cult status ever since, live at the Theaterhaus.
