The Evening Unfolds

As the clock strikes 22:00, brace yourself for the centerpiece: a 70-minute ballet performance by the acclaimed Berlin Ballet Company. The performance unfolds right before your eyes, as dancers traverse three dynamic platforms, narrating the poignant story of a central figure’s Odyssean journey through identity and self-discovery. The choreography, infused with hypnotic visuals, is driven by a live techno score composed and performed by renowned DJ Marko Nastić, who masterfully blends the worlds of classical composition and club energy.
But the night doesn’t end there! After the curtain falls on the ballet, the After-Show Party kicks off at 23:15 and runs until 06:00—an all-out techno celebration featuring a heavyweight lineup including Nastić himself, alongside Pauli Pocket from Kater Blau, Sudo from Drumcode, and Handmade of Tresor fame.
