Tanztage Berlin 2025

Tanztage Berlin is a Dance Performance Festival that blends reflection with artistic experimentation. “With four premieres and six revivals – plus a discourse and workshop program on scarcity, body politics, and burnout – its 34. edition is obsessed with freedom, as much as the pioneer mothers of modern dance were over a century ago. The program explores the burdens that bodies carry in a world that sees them mostly as problems to be solved. Between tracelessness and hypervisibility, depths and surfaces, limitation and liberation, here bodies inhabit ambiguous spaces in-between. They refuse fixed definitions or settling into rigid narratives. ” (Mateusz Szymanówka and the Tanztage team)

Neda Aydin - In Plain Sight

“The debut solo exhibition “In Plain Sight”, by Neda Aydin features sculptures and wall works that explore themes of pressure, resistance, and the beauty found in imperfection.

Aydin’s artistic practice is deeply tied to her personal history, shaped by her Iranian and Turkish heritage and her upbringing in Germany. Aydin captures this duality, reflecting the tension between cultural heritage and the challenges of integration.” (pied-à-terre)
