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.
Optional: English, German, Turkish, Ukrainian, French, etc.
The boat tour starts at the peninsula Alt-Stralau, the exact place and time (sunset) will be announced in time before the event starts with the ticket purchase. You can decide whether you want to come alone or in pairs. The price is the same for one or two people.
After the success of The River I in the summer of 2022, this special boat tour now returns to Berlin’s waters. The team around Aimé C. Songe alias Clément Layes invites you to an encounter on a rowboat just in time for sunset, alone or in pairs with a friend or loved one. Together with different artists, participants embark on a dreamlike journey to question the concept of an active and productive life and to take time to unwind.
Aimé C. Songe is an artist personality of Clément Layes who takes the time to grieve, finding new ways to come together with the audience, the world outdoors and in nature.
