TO ALL EMERGING DANCE ARTISTS BASED IN BERLIN
Every new year, the Tanztage Berlin is not only the city's very first festival, it has also established itself nationally and internationally as an important platform for emerging dance artists since its founding in 1996. The next edition of Tanztage Berlin will once again take place under the artistic direction of Mateusz Szymanówka. The festival is currently planned for 5-20 January 2024. The festival offers emerging dance artists based in Berlin a framework for their new productions and revivals. The programme of the last two editions can be found at: https://tanztage-berlin.sophiensaele.com.
Pain Threshold examines the reciprocity between one who gives care, and one who receives it, pulling apart the problematic nature of power within these roles. We are invited to follow Perel’s pattern of scar tissue where the body unfolds in a delicate choreography.
NOTICE This performance explicitly deals with sexual violence.
