Tiziano Cruz: Three Ways to Sing to a Mountain II
(German Premiere)
Born on the Argentine periphery, Tiziano Cruz has spent the last ten years exploring grief, loss, and the social, economic, and cultural forms of violence that shape the lives of his country's forgotten communities. From this investigation—both deeply intimate and profoundly political—emerges a lecture-performance that activates the memory of the body and the power of its Andean ancestors. A theatrical ritual that seeks to transform pain into an act of repair and reconciliation with the world.

Maque Pereyra: Transformative Pleasure - Yoggaton
Yoggaton is an intersectional movement practice developed by Bolivian artist Maque Pereyra since 2016. Combining yoga asana, pelvic dances and reggaeton music, it understands the body as a place of memory, creativity and embodied knowledge. Yoggaton challenges binary understandings of spirituality and sensuality, body and mind, pleasure and knowledge through a decolonial perspective Developed through ten years of workshops, performances and artistic research—including Solar Threshold, Culona de cerebro jugoso and the research project Perreando la migración—Yoggaton has been both a movement and an artistic practice. Presented to Plataforma Berlin as part of the celebration of Yoggaton's tenth anniversary, this scenic experience unfolds as a hybrid performance-workshop that gradually transforms into a collective party.
Participants are invited on a journey that moves from reflection to embodiment and finally to celebration, blurring the boundaries between learning, performance and dance floor.
No previous dance or yoga experience is required. Everyone is welcome. Bring comfy clothes and water

PLATAFORMA BERLIN facilitates a unique space where new and ancestral narratives, ecological discourses, geopolitical activism and Global South ontologies emerge, inspiring and encouraging the Berlin global/local audience to reflect. The festival focuses on BIPoC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) artists and their lived experiences, exploring intimate expressions and ancestral connections in the twilight of geopolitical and ecological crisis.
‘To Curate’ means ‘to heal’ in Spanish. This is what Plataforma Berlin and its curatorial approach are all about: curating a space for the diversification of perspectives, of gazes, enabling a multitude of viewpoints and encounters across pluriverses.
The festival celebrates for the 13th time this year interdisciplinary works devoted to dance, performance, film, food, healing, critical thinking, and celebration with artists from Bolivia, Argentina, Uganda, Egypt, Iran, Colombia and Berlin.
PLATAFORMA BERLIN was founded by Colombian BIPoC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) choreographer, performer and curator based in Berlin, Martha Hincapié Charry. The festival is possible through the valuable partnership and commitment of our co-producer DOCKART and partners BARAZANI and South Embassy.
