»In C« von Sasha Waltz & Guests

Musik von Terry Riley

Trailer »Travelogue I – Twenty to eight«


Revival

Radialsystem, Berlin, August 2026

World premiere

26 September 1997

Sophiensæle Berlin

Fiery dance and poetic imagery: against the backdrop of a symbolic wall, rhythmic, high-energy movement sequences illuminate the pulsating atmosphere of a street. Sasha Waltz’s piece »Zweiland« is almost exactly 30 years young. In the fast-paced and surreal choreography set to »Pictures from Germany« – and exploring borders and the act of overcoming them – everyday situations, pushed to the point of absurdity, meet character studies and fairy-tale-like imagery. The piece is almost prophetically titled »Zweiland« rather than »Einland«. This spectacular, multi-layered favourite production was revived in August 2026 at Radialsystem – for the first time in 10 years with a new generation of dancers – which propels the iconic piece into the here and now.

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?
