"Cállate y abrázame" at the Festival 48-Stunden-Neukölln

The Festival

48 Stunden Neukölln is an annual, decentrally organised festival of the arts which has grown to become the largest event of its kind in Berlin. In 2011, more than 330 venues in northern Neukölln offered around 770 individual to mark the occasion. Around c. 1,700 people, around 1% of the populace of northern Neukölln. Visitors come from all over the world to Neukölln, providing the area with influences from the more diverse cultures and traditions. All this adds up to the opportunity to enjoy this unique experience.

The festival is organised by “Kulturnetzwerk Neukölln e. V.” since 1999, a weekend has been devoted to presenting a gamut of artistic activity to a most varied audience. Every organisation, initiative, and individual artist in Neukölln is cordially invited to get involved in the festival. Additionally, artists from further afield (both from the rest of Germany and from abroad) are provided with a framework to conduct artistic experiments in all sorts of spaces. Important aspects of the event include the communication facilitated between artists and their audiences, and a number of offerings in which residents of the area, and visitors, where ever they come from, can also actively participate in.

Approximately 70,000 visitors took advantage of this cultural opportunity in 2010: they viewed examples of all imaginable art forms, from performance, the visual arts, intervention in unusual contexts, dance, theatre, music and especially, activities in which one gets actively involved.

48 Stunden Neukölln can only be made possible through the tireless energies of all the artists as well as those responsible for each venue, most of whom do so on a voluntary basis. Neukölln provides the ideal location for realising and viewing innovative potential in social-minded art projects. 

The Workshop

During the 18th of June, will take place at "The Center for Endless Progress" a small Tango Workshop for beginners. Free!!

For an hour and a half we will try to explore the secrets of the tango embrace. From our normal way of embracing we will transform this feeling into a surrender emptiness that allows us to connect with the rhythm and the music.

We are going to learn how to find the dialog between the men roll and the woman roll through the basic steps.

But the main thing is have the chance to discover this amazing dance that allows us to enter in our deepest passions…
