»In C« von Sasha Waltz & Guests

Musik von Terry Riley

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?

Statement on the cuts

It affects us all: the programme of events and projects in the area of education and community are jeopardised by budget cuts.


Last Tuesday, the Berlin Senate announced drastic cuts in the cultural sector that will have far-reaching consequences. Although the culture department only makes up a very small part (2.1%) of the Berlin budget, it is to be disproportionately burdened with a cut of 13% or 130 million euros.

These historically unprecedented cuts will have an exponential effect on the industry and will permanently damage Berlin as a cultural centre. A sector such as dance, which in Berlin has no permanent home and is not institutionally anchored, is particularly affected by these cuts.

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.
