About DANCAE
Founded in Berlin as a collective of classically trained ballet dancers, choreographers, and multidisciplinary artists, DANCÆ is reshaping contemporary performance by merging neoclassical ballet with electronic music, immersive installations, and cutting-edge technology. Their in-house ensemble, Ballet Sur_real, exemplifies this hybrid vision: a platform for cross‑disciplinary collaboration with DJs, visual artists, fashion designers, and spatial sound engineers.

Premiering July 5, 2025, at Eichenstraße 4A in Berlin, Chasing Nothing unfolds over three acts. It is set within a kinetic foil‑based installation by Dominic Kießling, whose subtle, air‑driven sculptures mirror dancers’ transient forms. This visual dialogue underscores the theme of ephemerality and human desire.

DANCÆ stands at the forefront of Berlin’s avant‑garde dance scene, rooted in ballet tradition yet boldly experimental. With a roster of internationally trained dancers, celebrated choreographers, and alliances with leading composers, technologists, and visual artists, their work transcends performance—it’s an immersive artistic ecosystem. Chasing Nothing continues this trajectory, offering Berlin audiences a rich sensory encounter that probes the nature of desire, memory, and impermanence through movement, sound, and space.
