Who we are
Our Roots
Founded in 2009 Via Berlin began with a clear ambition: to translate complex societal questions into emotional, artistic experiences.
What started as a very successful and well known music theatre company that soon travelled from Europe to Brasil to Russia and China and from Norway to South Africa, has since evolved into a broader transdisciplinary practice, working closely together with artists, scientists and specialized social partners.
We create immersive artistic work that explores complex questions through art-based research. Working across disciplines, we translate research, lived experience, and abstract ideas into forms that can be experienced - not only understood.
Our projects take different shapes, from performances and installations to site-specific exhibitions and public interventions. The format is always shaped by the question.
Why
In a time of increasing complexity, many of the forces shaping our lives are difficult to grasp through language alone. We believe art can create space for reflection by making these dynamics tangible and shared.
By connecting perspectives from the arts, research, and society, our work opens up new ways of understanding and relating to the world around us.
How we work
Our practice is collaborative and transdisciplinary. We work with artists, researchers, and societal partners to explore urgent questions and translate them into collective experiences.
Through this process, we aim to create work that not only communicates, but invites participation, reflection, and dialogue.
