Radialsystem V

Friedrichshain


'Space for arts and ideas' is the motto of this progressive performance space in an old riverside pump station. Its programming blurs the boundaries between the arts to nurture new forms of creative expression: contemporary dance meets medieval music, poetry meets pop tunes, painting meets digital.

The nice cafe-bar with a riverside terrace opens from 10am on event days. If you're interested in the history, architecture and future of the venue, check the website for upcoming one-hour tours (€5) offered in German and English.
