For the opening of their 2026 season, the Berlin-based contemporary dance collective Boneless Light presents States of Collapse.

The evening brings together two new works created in close collaboration with the same ensemble of performers, offering contrasting yet interconnected perspectives.

Too Busy to Burn, choreographed by Laura DeAngelis, examines burnout as a self-destructive loop driven by productivity, repetition, and external validation. Through an installation-based performance, the dancers exhaust themselves attempting to destroy a structure with a lighter out of fuel, trapped in futile labor while ease and softness remain just out of reach. The work reflects on late-capitalist exhaustion and the erosion of self-worth through over-determination.

Banquete Caribe, by Venezuelan choreographer Naia Urresti, offers a counterpoint rooted in Latin American thought and embodied ritual. Inspired by the writings of Alejo Carpentier and Oswald de Andrade, the piece explores chaos as a source of vitality rather than decay. Through movement, rhythm, and collective presence, the performers inhabit instability as a creative force—where identities overlap, structures dissolve, and new forms emerge. The body becomes a territory of resistence, contradiction, and revelation.

Together, the two works form a one-hour program that moves from exhaustion to regeneration, from collapse as depletion to collapse as rebirth. States of Collapse invites audiences to reflect on how bodies respond when systems fail—and what new possibilities emerge in their aftermath.
