About this event
Berlin's long-running street theatre festival takes over the square outside the main station with jugglers, clowns, acrobats and walkabout acts. The organisers describe it as culture brought to people in a completely non-elitist way, and it shows: you wander in off the street, watch a set, eat something from the market stalls and move on. The final week runs to 23 August.
