This podcast series is part of the Tanz im August festival, presented by HAU Hebbel am Ufer.

This year it takes place from 13th to 29th August in 11 locations in Berlin.

Like in the last years, various artists from the festival programme have been invited to participate in an intimate conversation format that provides insights into their lives and work.

Moderated either by artistic director Ricardo Carmona or by dramaturg and producer Alina Lauer, the artists tell tales and reveal detailed information about the works they are showing at this year's festival.

Featured guests are Dana Michel, Simona Deaconescu, Lenio Kaklea, Kareth Schaffer & Jonas Hauer, and Calixto Neto.

The episodes are in English and will be available on the website of Tanz im August and on most commonly used audio-streaming platforms.

In this episode, Ricardo Carmona, artistic director of the festival, talks to Simona Deaconescu, the artist behind the production “The Choreography of Water”.

“The Choreography of Water” can be seen from 18th to 20th August 2026 at HAU3 – for the first time in Germany.
