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)

The MELODY series features 6 oil-on-canvas paintings that contain a series of portraits reduced to broad, translucent brushstrokes.
