Ballet has always had the power to fuse contradictions — to make the eerie appear elegant, the absurd look graceful, the grotesque feel sublime. With Wunderkammer, the new creation by Marcos Morau — recently named Choreographer of the Year by tanz magazine and current Artist-in-Residence at Staatsballett Berlin — this duality takes center stage.
Inspired by the spirit of cabaret and the raw pulse of Berlin’s club culture, Morau transforms the stage of the Komische Oper Berlin @ Schillertheater into a kaleidoscopic dreamscape. Expect a surreal world where movement meets madness, couture meets chaos, and discipline dissolves into decadence — all set to an original score by Clara Aguilar and Ben Meerwein.
For anyone who loves the dark ecstasy of a night out but prefers to experience it from a velvet seat rather than a sweaty dance floor, Wunderkammer might just be your kind of rave.
