A dance evening between inner movement and great stage power
The wind rises presents an intense solo on the grand stage of fabrik Potsdam at the Potsdam Dance Days 2026. The piece by Manuel Roque from Montréal combines contemporary dance, physical precision, and an evocative soundscape into a dense event experience within the festival framework.

When movement becomes language
At the center is the body as an instrument of experiencing the world. Manuel Roque works with reduction, tension, and presence, making each turn and every small instability in space palpable. The production relies on the energy of the moment and on an audience atmosphere that oscillates between concentration and wonder.

A solo with atmospheric force
To a hypnotic soundscape, a dance unfolds that makes the swaying, searching, and finding visible. The piece captures the forces of nature as well as the tremors of the present. This is precisely where the special event atmosphere arises, for which contemporary performance art is so cherished in the festival circuit.
