Chamäleon Theatre

Berlin


A marriage of art nouveau charms and high-tech theatre trappings, this intimate venue in a 1920s-style old ballroom hosts 'contemporary circus' shows that blend comedy, acrobatics, music, juggling and dance – often in sassy, sexy and unconventional fashion. Sit at the bar, at bistro tables or in comfy armchairs.

There's table service before the show and during intermission. Box office and entrance in Court I of the Hackesche Höfe.
