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.
Just like Alejandro Jodorwsky, we believe in things, in ink made from urine, spit and one gram of excrement, in mirrors and in a phallus formed from rose blossoms. We believe that the black box is a container beyond measure. We believe in a bouncing light, in walls and silk curtains made of music and in performers that wash away shadows with scrub brushes and lye. Words alone can’t promise to heal, but action can. And a frog stuck in the throat quacks on stage: magical acts matter.
