Focussing on the numerous attempts to reintroduce the street carnival in Berlin, this paper studies the desire to reconstruct Berlin as the site & theatre of a reunified Germany by conducting certain symbolic changes stemming from various debates concerning the way in which the city can truly become that country's capital. Through a comparative historical perspective, the paper analyses Berlin's political & cultural marketing campaigns to reinvent itself as well as the various innovative scenarios for cultural performances to give a Berlin character to the original Rhine-based carnival, in two different historical & socio-political contexts, namely that of the 1950s & that beginning in the year 2000. The paper shows that the ability of these scenarios to implant themselves within the transformation processes of the post-Fordist city is subject to a complex process of negotiations between the groups of actors participating in the preparation & evaluation of such symbolic performances.
