Linie 1 is Volker Ludwig's musical revue about Berlin, with music by Birger Heymann and the rock band No Ticket, staged at GRIPS Theater on Hansaplatz.
Natalie arrives from the provinces at Bahnhof Zoo looking for the rock musician Johnny. When he fails to appear she boards the U-Bahn towards Schlesisches Tor and is drawn into the odd, loud and warm-hearted crowd of walled West Berlin in 1986. It is a drama about living and surviving in the big city that also says something about Berlin today.
The show premiered in 1986 and the current staging in 2023. Recommended from age 16; running time 3 h 15 min with an interval. Reduced tickets cost €20.
