Same Day Delivery is a space for music and dance improvisation.
Dancers and musicians each present a short solo and then improvise together in a group performance. Sometimes they know each other, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they’ve worked together in the past, sometimes they haven’t. What they do know is that every performance will be unique – it’s improvised, it will only ever happen once. What they don’t know is how their spontaneous performances on stage will be, but they are excited to go on the journey and to let whatever happens happen…
Come experience creativity unfolding in real time, in real life and stick around for some drinks and snacks after the show!

Labs & Workshops, LAYOUT EN, Upcoming events
Under the title KINGS & QUEENS, we invite all people over 55 to explore traditional gender roles and their own positioning within them through dance art under the direction of Silke Z. and Caroline Simon. How do labels and stereotypes of gender roles become entrenched on a physical level? How can we express these in movements, challenge them and transform them into something new? What biographical imprints and self- and external attributions are there? We want to explore all these questions together with you through dance. The lab will culminate in a final performance.
Barrier-free entrance. Accompanying persons receive free admission

“The light that we miss”
Misslightenment is a visually striking performance where a solo performer interacts with projected imagery, transforming into multiple personas. Through shadow, light, and video, fragmented female narratives unfold, blending reality, fantasy, and mythology. Exploring the male gaze’s role in overshadowing women’s stories and bodies, Eleni Ploumi draws from mythology and contemporary mistreatment of women, reflecting on her own reactions and memories. At its core, Misslightenment questions how these interpretations shape today’s continued mistreatment of women.
Misslightenment is part of the LOOK guest performance series for dance art and diversity.
