A Techno Ballet Odyssey

In the organizer's words:

Innovation meets tradition, precision meets rawness, techno meets ballet

Forget everything you ever thought you knew about ballet and let yourself be seduced anew in "A Techno Ballet Odyssey"

Well-known Berlin techno DJs, Belgrade techno DJ Marko Nastić and the Berlin Ballet Company collaborate in this techno party performance and rock the Kraftwerk together.

The evening begins with a pre-show party featuring well-known Berlin DJs*. Afterwards, the Berlin Ballet Comapny will perform a contemporary ballet performance about the journey of a search for oneself and individual paths. The show takes place in the middle of the audience, fueled by DJ music on stage.

The Kraftwerk remains open for two hours after the performance. There will be live techno music, drinks, street food and, of course, an open dance floor. So don't plan to go home too early! :)

There is only one rule: don't stand still!
