Trailer »Travelogue I – Twenty to eight«

With humour, aggression and sensuality, Sasha Waltz paints a contemporary genre picture in »Travelogue I – Twenty to eight« that has lost none of its explosive power and relevance over the years: a dance classic. The revival of the piece at Sophiensale in February 2025 marks a return to the beginning: just one year after Sasha Waltz came to Berlin, she founded the dance company Sasha Waltz & Guests together with Jochen Sandig in 1993 – with »Travelogue I – Twenty to eight«. It is also the prelude to the »Travelogue« trilogy, which was created in the following years, established the company's success and became iconic. To this day, the timeless piece continues to thrill audiences worldwide and is now being handed over to a new generation of dancers for the second time.

Beethoven 7 

Sasha Waltz & Guests

Ludwig van Beethoven 

Diego Noguera

In diesem zweiteiligen Abend widmet sich Sasha Waltz gemeinsam mit einem Ensemble von 13 Tänzer:innen der »Sinfonie Nr. 7 in A-Dur (op. 92)« von Ludwig van Beethoven und kontrastiert dieses klassische Stück mit dem Auftragswerk »Freiheit/Extasis« des zeitgenössischen Komponisten Diego Noguera. Bereits im Juni 2021 hatte die Choreographin im Rahmen des Beethoven-Tags »Mit Beethoven durch Europa« des europäischen Kultursenders ARTE in der antiken Tempelstätte von Delphi eine Choreographie zu zwei Sätzen von Beethovens Siebter geschaffen. Diese Musik ließ sie seitdem nicht mehr los. In ihr schwingen Fragen der Zeit mit, die für uns auch heute noch eine Rolle spielen: das Scheitern einer Revolution, die (erzwungene) Rückkehr zu alten Traditionen, die Reibung zwischen dem Wunsch nach gesellschaftlicher Transformation und Restauration und der damit einhergehende Verlust von Freiheit und Zukunftsperspektiven. Zu den live gespielten elektronischen Klängen von Diego Noguera mit dem Titel »Freiheit/Extasis« greift Sasha Waltz diese Themen zu Beginn des Abends auf und interpretiert sie aus zeitgenössischer Perspektive neu: Wie verhalten sich persönliche Freiheit und gesellschaftliche Zwänge zueinander?

#BerlinistKultur

​#Berlinis Culture - continues

Also in 2025, the lack of clarity about the cuts in the cultural sector continues: the cultural and main committees are still negotiating the cuts decided at the end of 2024. And in Berlin's cultural scene, there is still great uncertainty. In response, the platform #BerlinistKultur is once again calling for action.

Statement on the cuts

Effects of the budget cuts decided on 19 December 2024


The historically unprecedented cuts in the cultural sector decided by the Berlin Senate in the plenary session of the House of Representatives on 19 December 2024 will have far-reaching and drastic consequences for Sasha Waltz & Guests and for the breadth of Berlin's entire cultural landscape. They will permanently damage the Capital of Culture

Berlin and its international appeal.

Youth Culture Initiative

100% Elimination of the Youth Culture Initiative Endangers the Expansion of Equitable Cultural Participation for Young People Across Berlin.

Young people have a right to cultural education that helps them realize their potential and actively shape their world—regardless of social background, cultural affiliation, or gender. Cultural education is not a luxury but a foundation that empowers young people to act confidently and engage with society. It creates spaces where they can express their creativity, strengthen social relationships, and become active participants in a democratic society.

Berlin Mondiale

Support for Berlin Mondiale

Berlin Mondiale is in acute danger due to the budget cuts of the Berlin Senate. Should these cuts be finalised as of 19 December, the funds for Berlin Mondiale would be completely eliminated. With your help, you can support Berlin Mondiale in continuing its work, realigning its network and ensuring cultural participation for many people in the future.
