Tide: Dance Theater between Breath, Movement and Social Tides

When bodies become resonance spaces and each breath unfolds its own dramaturgy, Tide begins. The dance theater piece by Sophie Haydee Colindres Zühlke and Serhat Saïd Perhat combines urban dance with experimental and acrobatic forms. On Friday, November 13, 2026, the Munich audience will experience the production on Stage 2 of the Munich Volkstheater.

A Wave of Bodies and Rhythms

The production looks at the omnipresent movement of life: In and Out, Forward and Backward, Acceleration and Standstill. The change of tides serves as a central metaphor for individual transformations as well as for societal dynamics. The dancers swim against the current or let themselves be carried by it, while a constantly changing flow of movement forms from the group.

Urban Dance Meets Experimental Stage Art

In the choreographic language of Tide, organic lines of movement, contemporary dance, breakdance, and acrobatic elements come together. Soft, almost meditative passages encounter hard impulses, quick turns, and explosive solo eruptions. The bodies tell not a linear story, but about energy, rhythm, and the tension between personal freedom and collective movement.

Light, Sound, and Set Design as Breathing Partners

The theater atmosphere arises from the interplay of stage, costumes, sound design, and light. Warm, sunrise-like light and the sound of water contrast with bright white spots, deep beats, and precise movement accents. These contrasts give the production a sensual acoustics and a set design that feels less like a backdrop and more like an organism of its own.

Dramaturgy Without a Fixed Storyline

The dramaturgy consciously detaches from a classical narrative. Instead, a stream of consciousness emerges from simultaneous actions, group choreographies, and individual outbreaks. The direction by Sophie Haydee Colindres Zühlke and Serhat Saïd Perhat leads the ensemble through different states: from meditative flowing to furious physical discharge.

Press Reviews of the Production

The Süddeutsche Zeitung describes the change of tides as a central metaphor and highlights the impressive dance theater. The Abendzeitung emphasizes the interplay of modern dance and furious breakdance. The Münchner Merkur acknowledges the organic development of the story and the simultaneity of actions. The taz praises the harmonious connection of contemporary dance, slow motion, water sounds, beats, and breakdance.

Conclusion: A Stage Experience in the Flow of Movement

Tide promises an intense stage experience for all who want to experience dance theater as a physical, musical, and visual experience. For 65 minutes, a theater atmosphere is created where breath, light, sound, and movement merge into a common flow. Those who wish to not only observe the audience reaction but also become part of this flow of movement can experience the production live at the Munich Volkstheater.
