Memorial ceremony for director and visual artist Robert Wilson, who passed away in July

Director and visual artist Robert Wilson passed away on 31 July 2025 at the age of 83. He had been a member of the Akademie der Künste since 1996. In the last weeks of his life, Wilson designed four public memorials – commemorative ceremonies in four cities that were of particular significance to his life and career: New York, Paris, Berlin and Milan.

At Robert Wilson's request, the memorial in Berlin will take place at the Akademie der Künste on Hanseatenweg.

Afterwards, the Robert Wilson Foundation and the Akademie der Künste invite you to gather in the foyer for conversation, remembrance and a look to the future.
