The popular version of the biblical proverb "Whoever enters danger will fall in it" (Sirach 3:26) is reflected in the saying "He who walks in danger will perish in it." And indeed, art often carries a touch of risk for those involved. Whether with a safety net or a false bottom, whether authentic or merely illusionistic – every true piece of art requires transcending boundaries and carries the risk of falling and failure. This is where the dancers are called upon, not as gamblers addicted to thrills and the ultimate adrenaline rush, but rather in their professionalism, their mutual trust, and their vulnerability. Gravity takes us into the wonderful world of their "risk space."

Inspired by the powerful emotions surrounding love, Soul Chain combines ballet and electro into gripping contemporary dance. The ensemble becomes a swarm of energy in a highly demanding choreography that won the German Theatre Award DER FAUST in 2018 and was invited to the prestigious TANZPLATTFORM DEUTSCHLAND in 2020.

"Light gives us the ability to perceive others and thus ourselves. Like in a pinhole camera, the new impressions fall on our retina and condition our actions. The information that reaches us passes unfiltered from the outside to the inside. There it changes due to our predispositions. The same events can therefore elicit very contradictory reactions in different people." (Philippe Kratz)
