Dance Play

Kombiticket 09. April + Kombiticket 10. April

This year 100⁰ Berlin was celebrating a brilliant anniversary. For four days straight, the Sophiensæle and HAU were opening their stages, rooms and niches for more than 120 productions for theatre and performances on the hour, every hour.  The winners’ productions of the Sophiensæle will be presented again at the Best of 100⁰ BERLIN 2013.

DANCE PLAY

DANCE PLAY is about life, movement and immigration. It’s a work about the moment that we live in Europe now – with hope, revolution and capitalism.

I walk slowly/ because I came from far away// I walk slowly/ because I come from Afghanistan which is far away// I walk slowly/ because I am basha posh/ a girl who used to be a boy.
