Undercurrents / Podziemne Prądy

Adi Weinberg (Berlin/Warschau/Haifa)  

02 – 03 Jun 2026 | Potsdamer Tanztage 2026Dance / performance

Undercurrents is a choreographic search for traces of what lies beneath the surface: Memory as a quiet current, as inherited movement, as history inscribed in the body. Past and present overlap, enter into dialogue, contradict, and support each other.

Two dancers and a double bass player give physical form to lost, repressed, or fragmented memories. Buried and forgotten stories slowly resurface. Fragments rearrange themselves. What has long remained unspoken is translated into movement. The fabric becomes the connecting element - skin, boundary, protection, and resonance chamber all at once. It reminds us of what separates us and what sustains us. This creates an intimate bridge: A dance about memory, connection, and transformation, about identity.

Undercurrents was commissioned by the SZIH and POLIN museum Warsaw: a creation made in response to the exhibition 1945. Not the End, Not the Beginning and first performed at the museum in Sep 2025.

Adi Weinberg (IL/PL/DE) is a dancer, choreographer and Gaga teacher. Trained in Jerusalem and Haifa and apprenticed with Vertigo Dance Company, she has performed internationally and collaborated with numerous choreographers and institutions. Since 2014, she has been developing her choreographic work, circling the deeper layers of our embodied experience: ancestral trauma, internal/external patterns of gender, power and relationality. Her work is expressive, poetic and abstract, with intention to create safe spaces of intimacy, resonance and encounter. Alongside her artistic practice, she has been teaching Gaga and movement research workshops to diverse audiences throughout Israel, Poland and Germany.
