"Run Time Anomaly" by Simon Steen-Andersen with Youth Dance Company Sasha Waltz & Guests

What happens when you challenge a group of young dancers to climb a building turned on its side – or upside down? Or when they play the theater’s stage machinery like an oversized musical instrument, or dance with a boom microphone to generate the soundtrack for the dance itself?
“Run Time Anomaly” begins with precisely these kinds of questions. Together with the Youth Dance Company Sasha Waltz & Guests and the choreographers Lázló Sandig and Wibke Storkan, composer, performer and sound artist Simon Steen-Andersen inhabited the building of the Akademie der Künste at Hanseatenweg for three weeks, exploring the building’s hidden sounds and history while searching for direct connections between sound, body, and architecture.
The result is a fantastical live documentary portraying the dance company and the architecture through one another. The young dancers take to a stage that extends into transformed spaces, entering a play between reality and imagination – all set to a soundscape of amplified movements, body- and building-shaking sub-frequencies, echoes from archival electronic music, cinematic dreamscapes, and transformations of the dancers’ own favourite dance tracks.
The world premiere was commissioned and produced by the festival Voices Berlin in 2025. We are delighted to be able to present the final version of the piece now.
“The artistic highlight of the [Voices Berlin] festival was Run Time Anomaly ... The production impressed with its creative concept and playful inventiveness: movement, electronic sounds, video and architecture intertwined to create a multifaceted exploration of altered spatial perception.”
