Tide: Dance theater between body, rhythm, and societal tides

When movement flows like a current through space, a choreographic research journey begins at the Munich Volkstheater: Tide combines urban dance, experimental forms, and acrobatic elements into an intense stage experience about individual and collective rhythms.

Breath as a dramatic pulse

In and out, forward and backward: The production takes human breath as its starting point and translates it into a moving dramaturgy. Bodies rise and fall like waves, accelerate, hesitate, and find a common rhythm again. The dancers become resonance spaces where personal transformations are as visible as societal dynamics.

Urban dance meets experimental stage art

The directing and choreography by Sophie Haydee Colindres Zühlke and Serhat Saïd Perhat brings together different dance languages. Organic movement lines meet hard, acrobatic impulses. Sometimes the bodies swim against the current, sometimes they let themselves be carried by an invisible flow. This creates a production that tells less of a linear story and makes states, forces, and relationships experienceable.

Stage design, costumes, light, and sound as living partners

Anne Schwarzelt and Brooklyn Odunsi Ifeacho are responsible for stage and costumes, creating a visual resonance space for the moving composition. Sound design and lighting design intensify the atmosphere: The stage space becomes a pulsating structure where acoustics, lighting mood, and body work intertwine. The art of acting takes a backseat here in favor of precise, physical presence - every gesture receives dramaturgical weight.

A world premiere with lasting resonance

After the successful dance theater piece Grey, Colindres Zühlke and Perhat continue their collaborative artistic work. Tide premiered on April 11, 2026, and examines which elements in the flow of events are overlooked and how new perceptions can be opened. The performance lasts about 65 minutes and takes place without an intermission.

Conclusion: A stage experience like an internal surf

Tide invites the audience to a physically precise, visually impressive dance theater about breath, change, and solidarity. Those who want to experience contemporary stage art, urban dance, and unusual movement dramaturgy will find an evening full of energy, tension, and sensual theater atmosphere in this performance.
