An Evening Between Resistance, Movement, and the Voices of the Amazon

With La Pola, the Bundeskunsthalle presents a dance intervention on May 13, 2026, transforming bodies, history, and political energy into an intense stage experience. In dialogue with the exhibition AMAZÔNIA. Indigenous Worlds, XXTanzTheater unfolds a performance that intertwines feminist perspectives, resistance, and poetic imagery.

When Dance Becomes a Stance

XXTanzTheater works interdisciplinarily, experimentally, and with a clear political focus. The company develops a contemporary dance language in which movement is not merely illustration but an argument. For La Pola, this means: the evening emphasizes condensation, presence, and choreographic tension, featuring bodies that tell stories without explaining.

Amazônia as a Resonance Space

The Bundeskunsthalle frames the performance amidst the exhibition Amazônia. Indigenous Worlds, which views the Amazon not as an exotic projection surface but as a cultural, social, and political space. This constellation lends the evening a special dramaturgy: dance, exhibition, and space engage in a dialogue that sharpens perception and draws the audience into an atmosphere of quiet intensity.

Political Images, Poetic Bodies

The works of XXTanzTheater are known for their poetic imagery and clear societal engagement. In La Pola, this signature style meets a place that stands for open culture, mediation, and international perspectives. This results in a staging where musical impulses, lighting moods, and physical precision create a multifaceted theatrical experience.

An Evening for Curious Cultural Audiences

Those who appreciate contemporary dance, performance art, and politically charged stage aesthetics will find an evening of substance and aesthetic power here. La Pola promises no easy entertainment, but a concentrated live experience that resonates and raises questions. A visit is worthwhile for anyone seeking theater as a sensory and intellectual experience.
