Out of the vast expanse of the night, an opera for the 21st century emerges, bringing new aesthetics and perspectives, and a different relationship to the world: Iranian choreographer Sorour Darabi presents his first opera in Radialsystem with “Mile et Une Nuits” - an immersive performance, which gives space to voices that were pushed aside in ancient myth.
“Meshwar Mixtapes“ is a listening series initiated by DJ DumTak, in which hosts guide the audience through personal and collective histories. Stories, music, and projected translations of song texts are thus woven into an intimate, communal encounter. Under-represented and marginalised experiences are placed at the centre of each event.

In our performance-driven society, failure is seen as a blemish. But what if failure also holds a poetry of its own, one that is more than mere failure? Inspired by Samuel Beckett’s words, “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better”, “Joyful Failure” by laborgras understands failure as movement itself – as an ongoing process that opens up possibilities.
„THE PRESSING“ ist eine Solo-Performance der Choreografin und Performerin Dani Brown, die das Wort CUNT (dt. „Fotze“) seiner Vulgarität entzieht und das weibliche Sexualorgan in eine spekulative künstlerische Entität verwandelt.
