Chaos Theory
Concept
The choreography unfolds as an investigation into chaos: a living experiment where movement oscillates between repetition and rupture. Patterns take shape, dissolve, and reappear, creating a rhythm of constant transformation. At its center lies the living space — a place of safety and intimacy that is never fixed, always shifting between retreat and encounter, calm and vitality. Through this lens, Chaostheorie becomes a reflection on how life itself is choreographed: shaped by decisions, interruptions, and unexpected turns. Rather than offering answers, the piece opens a field of questions, inviting the audience to inhabit the tension between stability and flux.

Sound Landscape
The sound design mirrors the instability of the choreography. Layers of analogue synthesizers, field recordings, and resonant textures create a shifting sonic world that can feel both intimate and expansive. Music here is not a backdrop but a living system — echoing, breaking apart, and reforming — guiding the audience deeper into the sensation of unpredictability.
The Theory
At its core, Chaostheorie borrows from mathematics, where even the smallest variations can trigger vast consequences — the flap of a wing that sets off a storm. On stage, this principle becomes a motor for dance: each choice alters the course of the piece, each interruption leaves a trace. The choreography thus becomes a live experiment in sensitivity, showing how individual actions accumulate into collective patterns. In this way, the work reveals the hidden geometry of life itself: fragile, unstable, yet endlessly generative.
