Police operation at the guest performance of the Batheva Dance Company in Berlin!

A dramatic acting unfolded on January 17, 2025 when the renowned Bathsheva Dance Company from Israel performed in the Berlin Festival House. The events were accompanied by a strong police force, since around 20 demonstrators with Palestinians briefly blocked access to the theater. This was an unexpected sight because the most famous dance ensemble of Israel had traveled to Berlin in the past without such security measures. Access to the theater was reportedly controlled, with strict entry and pocket controls for the spectators. According to BZ Berlin , the dance performance "Momo", choreographed by Ohad Naharin, showed passionate arguments with topics such as war, loneliness and striving to close up.

The dancers on stage were portrayed as mysterious characters - warriors, angels or spirits - the sounds of Laurie Anderson and the Krono's quartet that touched by touching iridids. The acting achievements led to standing ovation and great cheering, and despite the heated Situation in front of the theater, the performances on Friday and Saturday were completely sold out. This artistic performance grinded the collective memory and emotions of the audience and left a lasting impression.

magical music and captivating storytelling at the comic opera

the comic opera with "The Little Hexe" ensured another highlight in Berlin. As Die Tagesspiegel reported, the composer Franz Wittenbrink created a rousing music that linked jazz elements and opera culture. The director Martina Gredler proved that children can also come into contact with complex topics. Maria-Danaé Bansen embodied the little witch with a lot of feeling, while Michael Heller shone as her nervous rabe Abraxas. Also the in -house singers: inside managed to captivate the audience with their acting performance, and the children's choir received great applause for its clear intelligibility of text.

This two events makes it clear that Berlin remains a center for creative forms of expression that link both local and international arts and attract an audience that breastfeeds the need for cultural exchange.
