Berlin hums with unfinished echoes, a city built on fractures and in-betweens. At Monopol, Ballet Sur_real fuses dance and installation in Modalities of Me. Five figures embody power, chaos, fragility, and ferality, exploring desire, intimacy, and identity through club culture, digital life, and hyper-capitalist pressures. A body becomes a question, a space becomes alive, and identity splinters into light, sound, and shadow.

Adulterers Anonymous (1982) is a soliloquy on love and on all that might be mistaken for it. Its lines have absorbed the solitude and desperation of a feeling that, even when consumed in the flesh, lingers in the body until it becomes a torture for the mind.

A reverential fear accompanies one’s entry into the Schinkel Pavillon in Berlin. It’s hard not to succumb to the dread provoked by those judging authorities—figures that rise from canvases and sculptures—whose silence carries the weight of condemnation even before the judged can speak.
