Acrobatics puts a thrill into a Berlin night out, at a variety theatre, a circus tent or a dinner show. The city has a strong tradition of stage acrobatics, from classic Variete to contemporary companies mixing dance, aerial work and comedy. This tag collects Berlin locations where the performers defy gravity.
Historic variety theatres around Mitte and the western districts stage polished revues, while festival tents and studios in Friedrichshain and Treptow host more experimental work. Shows often combine acrobatics with live music and cabaret, and some pair the spectacle with dinner. Programmes change through the year, with special runs around the winter holidays.
