PLATFORM 14

Contemporary, experimental, and urban dance pieces stand side by side on equal footing in a carefully curated program.

This year’s edition brings together works that navigate the space between intimacy and community, exploring themes such as identity, memory, and mindfulness, as well as the shifting dynamics of today’s world.

From poetic reflections on current events and social structures to physical explorations of togetherness, transformation, and resistance, the program unfolds as a multi-layered dialogue between different experiences and perspectives.

Over three evenings, spaces for encounters emerge, and vulnerability, humor, and tension, dialogue, curiosity, and critical reflection find artistic expression.

This year, PLATFORM 14 opens with Alumni Night: As part of an internal selection process, three groups from last year’s open call return to present new, longer pieces.
