The 2026 Lineup challenges traditional boundaries of genre and form by presenting works from contemporary, urban, and experimental dance on equal ground. This year’s edition brings together works that navigate the space between intimacy and community, exploring themes such as identity, memory, perception and the shifting dynamics of our contemporary world over three performance evenings. From poetic reflections on current affairs and social structures to physical explorations on togetherness, transformation and resistance, the programme unfolds as a multi-layered dialogue between diverse experiences.

This year, Platform 14 opens with an Alumni Night: following an internal selection process, three groups from last year’s open call return to present new and longer pieces.
