A contemporary sound, performance and installation art festival, DAT has found its home in a former east-German hospital boilerhouse, and is getting ready to kick off on October 7 and 8.
Two days of experimental music concerts flirting with the contemporariest of dance performances, breathtaking in-situ installations and tightly curated film screenings; of noise DJs and weird electroacoustic acts pushing through the night and well into the morning, with a workshops programme taking over in the afternoon, before it all starts again.
DAT festival is curated by a collective of local DIY organisers and labels, and we are super grateful to Kesselhaus for letting use their gorgeous space. It is a 15 minutes bike ride from Frankfürter Tor, and tramway from Landsberger Allee runs all night on weekends.
