Dear audience,<\/p>\n

Dance often begins to multiply through co-existence \u2014 both in groups and in solos. Movement never represents itself alone: it is embedded in contexts; it can be infectious or challenging. With the motto \u201cA Body of Many \u2014 Moving Democracy\u201d Tanzfestival Rhein-Main 2026 asks what it means when many bodies become one, without ceasing be many. Because this is where its artistry lies: not in merging but interacting. Not in unison, but in polyphony.This question is arising with increasing urgency. While radical political forces are endorsing unification, exclusion and the notion of a supposedly pure, homogenous body, dance shows the opposite: society is not created through conformity but by tolerating and fashioning difference.Whether they are large ensemble pieces or solos, the pieces in this year\u2019s festival are maintained by dynamics that wrestle with each other, support each other, contradict each other and yet find a form together.A body of the many, one body among many cannot be divided without hurting itself. That is the political power of this image \u2014 and what we are inviting you to take a precise look at in this year\u2019s festival.<\/p>\n
