When love becomes an electric swarm: Soul Chain in Mainz

On December 4, 2026, tanzmainz transforms the Kleine Haus of the Staatstheater Mainz into a vibrating resonance chamber. Soul Chain (UA) by Sharon Eyal combines contemporary dance, ballet, and electronic music into an intense stage experience about the strong, contradictory forces of love.

Movement as a collective pull

On stage, the ensemble forms a swarm full of energy. Individual bodies detach from the group, come together, and disappear again in a precisely directed formation. The choreography works with repetition, rhythm, and physical tension – a dramatic language that makes closeness and alienation not just told but immediately palpable.

Sharon Eyal and the aesthetics of the heartbeat

Sharon Eyal's production relies on a highly concentrated acting art of the body. Together with artistic advisor Gai Behar, she develops a vocabulary of movement between ballet strictness, club culture, and trance-like ecstasy. The music by Ori Lichtik drives the action forward with electronic impulses, while costumes by Rebecca Hytting and stage and lighting by Alon Cohen create a clear, modern visual world.

Award-winning contemporary dance art

Soul Chain was awarded the German Theatre Prize DER FAUST in 2018 and invited to the prestigious TANZPLATTFORM DEUTSCHLAND in 2020. The production thus belongs to the defining works in contemporary dance and demonstrates the international appeal of the dance division tanzmainz at the Staatstheater Mainz.

A concentrated stage experience

The performance lasts about 60 minutes and takes place without an intermission. In the Kleine Haus, an immediate theater atmosphere is created: acoustics, lighting mood, and the cohesive movement language make the stage space appear like a living organism. The audience's reaction to this physically intense dance production ranges from tense silence to prolonged applause.

Conclusion: Dance that goes under the skin

Soul Chain invites you to not only observe contemporary dance but to experience it physically. Those seeking a powerful production with electronic sound, precise choreography, and compelling stage aesthetics will experience an evening filled with rhythm, tension, and emotional density at the Staatstheater Mainz.
