The Berlin-based choreographer Kat Válastur brings back her solo Dive into You at HAU Hebbel am Ufer on Tuesday 24 November 2026 at 8pm and Wednesday 25 November at 7pm, both at HAU1. Tickets cost 12–29 €, reduced 9–20 €. The piece premiered at HAU2 in December 2024; this revival moves it to the larger stage of the old Hebbel-Theater.
On 24 November the evening starts with an introduction at 7.15pm by Ricardo Carmona, artistic director of the festival Tanz im August, in English.
What to expect
A one-hour solo in which Válastur dances, speaks and sings. The piece links the figure of the female oracle with photosynthesis and the growth of trees: a body that takes in light and turns it into speech. Her movement is percussive, taking its cue from the semantron, a wooden board struck with a mallet to call monks to prayer in Orthodox monasteries. The music is by the French composer and producer Aho Ssan, whose electronic work builds dense, physical sound.
HAU warns of strobe light, haze and loud passages. Free earplugs are available at the cloakroom.
