What happens when you challenge a group of young dancers to climb a building turned on its side — or upside down? Or when they play the theater’s stage machinery like an oversized musical instrument? Or generate the soundtrack to their own dance... using a boom microphone?

RUN TIME ANOMALY is a fantastical live documentary that portrays the YOUTH DANCE COMPANY SASHA WALTZ & GUESTS and the architecture of the Akademie der Künste through one another. The young dancers take to a stage that extends into transformed spaces, entering a game between reality and imagination.

💬 «The production impressed with its creative concept and playful inventiveness: movement, electronic sounds, video and architecture intertwined to create a multifaceted exploration of altered spatial perception»

Árpád Schilling' Travelers, engaging the entire ensemble of the Lithuanian State Youth Theatre, tells the story of theater itself, explores what connects and divides individuals, what fades with time, and what remains. Voices Berlin is incredibly honoured to present two amazing performances of the play at HAU1.

The Long Shadow of Alois Brunner by Collective Ma'louba explored the true story of one of the most wanted N**i criminals to escape sentencing. Syrian playwright Mudar Alhaggi discovered the subject upon his arrival to Berlin and drew parallel to the two wildly different refugee stories — Alois Brunner's and his own.

Voices Berlin is not only about performances — it’s also about encounters, dialogue, and sharing ideas. This year’s discussion panels brought audiences, artists, and experts together to reflect on the world we create, question, and imagine through art.

Thank you to everyone who joined these conversations. Your presence made the dialogue alive.

🟨 Culture Across Borders looked at artistic creation in exile — how displacement shapes voice, responsibility, and identity — with Marina Davydova, Rustem Begenov, Rabih Mroué, Ersan Mondtag, and Dror Feiler in conversation with Stefanie Carp.

🟨 AI Takes the Stage explored how emerging technologies transform imagination and live performance, featuring Su Wen-Chi, Ivan Vyrypaev, Kojo Samuel, Richard Crawford, Asma Derja, Olivia Gillman, Otto Plesner, and Alexis Kirke, moderated by Scott C. Johnson.

🟨 Second Hand Trauma opened a space for reflection on memory, conflict, and reconciliation within the Balkan Affairs project, bringing together Christine Fischer, Margareta Ferek-Petric, Mladen Ivanović, several composers from the region, and Sergej Newski.

This year Voices Berlin has introduced a new format — Author Readings, offering a rare opportunity to witness renowned authors and dramaturgs read their own texts.

Nino Haratischwili’s love letter to Tbilisi; Krystian Lupa’s haunting diaries; Aleksandr Plotnikov’s failed cosmonauts, Mikhail Durnenkov’s many-voiced Navalny; Marius Ivaškevičius and Barzu Abdurazzakov narrating Tajikistan’s tragic Post-Soviet history — these were encounters with the people behind the words.

In Balkan Affairs, seven young composers from seven states of the former Yugoslavia confronted the long shadow of the Balkan wars with striking new works for voices and electronics. Their pieces, performed by Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart, moved between brutal sonic force and delicate intimacy, weaving stories of memory, identity, conflict, and hope.

The evening then expanded into a walk-in video installation, a polyphony of voices gathered across the region: from taxi drivers in Sarajevo to professors in Belgrade to migrants in Montenegro — all reflecting on the fragile art of living together.

The ABC of Exclamations transformed St. Elisabeth Kirche into a world of wonder. Poet Vera Burlak and her son Kastuś Žybul reimagined the Belarusian alphabet through 34 emotional exclamations turned into vivid stories, fantastical drawings, and enigmatic poems.

Animator Monika Nuber and composer Georgia Koumará expanded their universe into an immersive installation that invited audiences to feel, listen, and look closer.
