Days of Dance (Tanztage) is a contemporary dance festival focusing on the discovery and support of up-and-coming choreographers and dancers based in Berlin.
The Tanztage present contemporary dance in the Sophiensaele. Between political analysis, the status of dance in society and a new look at the musical genre, various artistic approaches are considered. Most of the participating choreographers and dancers follow an interdisciplinary approach for the Days of Dance. Performances include elements of the visual arts, sounds, music and language, others are inspired by current political events. Pop-cultural references and genres such as striptease and breakdance, club culture, talk shows and pop music are part of the festival too.
The Tanztage Berlin 2025 are once again under the artistic direction of Mateusz Szymanówka and deals specifically with the challenges of the body in a world that often sees it as a problem. It addresses the tension between absence and overpresence, between limitation and liberation. This year's artists and collectives include Luisa Fernanda Alfonso, Leo Naomi Baur, Kysy Fischer, Hanako Hayakawa, Auro Orso, Rayne&Ceremony, Adam Russell-Jones, Tentacular Figurings, Shade Théret and vAL.
