Tide: When Bodies Become Resonance Spaces
On Sunday, October 18, 2026, stage 2 of the Munich Volkstheater will transform into a pulsating experiential space. Tide is a dance theater piece by Sophie Haydee Colindres Zühlke and Serhat Saïd Perhat, which understands the change of tides as a poetic metaphor for individual and societal movements.
Breath, Rhythm, and Movement
In and out, back and forth: The production focuses on the elemental movement of breath. Like a wave action, the body lifts and lowers, accelerates, pauses, and finds a new rhythm. The dramaturgy does not follow a linear plot but develops from movement impulses, tensions, and transitions.
Urban Dance Meets Experimental Forms
In Tide, organic movement lines, urban dance, and hard acrobatic elements meet. The dancers form an ensemble in constant change: sometimes they swim against the tide, at other times, they are carried by an invisible current. Personal transformations and societal dynamics are thus not narrated but physically made experienceable.
Stage Design, Costumes, and Sound as a Current
Anne Schwarzelt and Brooklyn Odunsi Ifeacho are responsible for stage and costumes. Konstantin Hofmann designs the sound, while Anja Sekulic shapes the light dramaturgy. Together, they create a theatrical atmosphere where acoustics, lighting mood, and physicality merge into a shared wave. The performers become resonance spaces where movement, sound, and perception overlap.
A World Premiere with Its Own Movement Language
The direction and choreography are by Sophie Haydee Colindres Zühlke and Serhat Saïd Perhat. After their dance theater piece Grey, the artist duo continues their research into physical and social movement forms. The approximately 65-minute performance runs without an intermission and focuses entirely on the intensification of rhythm, space, and the theatricality of the body.
Conclusion: A Stage Experience Between Pull and Resistance
Tide invites the audience not only to observe movement but to feel it as a shared experience. Between urban energy, acrobatic precision, and poetic abstraction, a dance theater evening emerges about change, resistance, and the forces that connect people. Those who want to experience contemporary stage art live will find an atmospherically intense evening at the Munich Volkstheater.
