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.

Soul Chain (UA)

Moritz Ostruschnjak's work is at the cutting edge of contemporary dance. The Munich-based choreographer explores how the increasing digitalization of life impacts our physical and social experience. His works use social media as a starting point for unique movement material, thus reflecting social processes through dance.
