Neukölln: Weird. Dirty. Multikulti. Clean. Expensive. Homogeneous.
A change is taking place.
Neukölln. A Better Place tries to find a direct response to the conflicts that emerge from the process of gentrification. The performer, Wanda Dubrau, has researched what Neukölln residents think about their neighbourhood; this tour was developed in response to their answers and needs. How could Neukölln become a better place? How can contradictory ideas about Neukölln’s optimisation be consolidated? Join Neukölln’s new taskforce on a mission of self-optimisation.

Neukölln: Seltsam. Schmutzig. Multikulti. Und doch sauber. Teuer. Homogen.
Etwas verändert sich.
Neukölln. A Better Place versucht eine direkte Antwort auf die Konflikte zu finden, die mit dem Gentrifizierungsprozess einhergehen. Die Performerin Wanda Dubrau hat recherchiert, was Neuköllner über ihren Bezirk denken, und anhand der Antworten und Bedürfnisse diese Tour entwickelt. Wie könnte Neukölln zu einem besseren Ort werden? Wie lassen sich widersprüchliche Bedürfnisse und Optimierungsideen vereinbaren? Begleite Neuköllns neues Sondereinsatzkommando auf dieser Selbstoptimierungs-Mission.
