Travelogue I – Twenty to eight
Sasha Waltz
In “Travelogue I – Twenty to eight”, Sasha Waltz paints a moral picture of the present with humour, aggression and sensuality that hasn’t lost any of its urgency or relevance since premiering in 1993: a true dance classic. To this day, the timeless piece, which the choreographer herself performed for a long time, still excites audiences worldwide.
In Spring 2025, “Travelogue I – Twenty to eight” will be shown as part of a performance series at Sophiensaele and Radialsystem. On the occasion of its reprise, the work will be passed on to yet another generation of dancers. Audiences in Berlin could previously experience “Travelogue I - Twenty to eight” at Radialsystem in January 2018. The piece, which has successfully accompanied the company and its audiences through many different countries for over 30 years, was last handed over to a new generation of dancers back in 2007: The idea of a repertoire, a “living archive”, is an important starting point in the artistic work of Sasha Waltz & Guests.
It is a return to the beginning. With “Travelogue I – Twenty to eight” Sasha Waltz and Jochen Sandig founded the dance company Sasha Waltz & Guests in 1993. The piece, which emerged from a dialogue between five international dancers in the framework of a scholarship from Künstlerhaus Bethanien and in coproduction with Grand Theatre Groningen, received high praise from critics and audiences alike. Sasha Waltz has developed a choreographic language that is rough and passionate, painful and bizarre, aggressive and ironic, charged with sexuality and full of absurdities: a wild, sad, angry, ugly beauty.
