Show notes

This podcast series is part of the Tanz im August festival, presented by HAU Hebbel am Ufer and this year it takes place from 15.–31.8. in 10 locations in Berlin. Like last year, various artists from the festival programme have been invited to participate in an intimate conversation format that provides insights into their lives and work. Moderated either by artistic director Ricardo Carmona or by dramaturg and producer Alina Lauer, the artists tell tales and reveal detailed information about the works they are showing at this year's festival. Featured guests are Dorothée Munyaneza, Michelle Moura, Amala Dianor, Yinka Esi Graves, and Marco D’Agostin. The episodes are in English and will be available on the TIA Website and on most commonly used audio-streaming platforms.

In this episode, Ricardo Carmona, Artistic Director of the festival, talks with Yinka Esi Graves. The artist will present her work on 24.–25.8. for the first time in Germany and it can be seen at HAU2.
