4. DANCÆ - Chasing Nothing
CHASING NOTHING is a three-act ballet set to electronic music and performed by dancers from the Deutsche Oper Berlin. The performance takes place within a full-scale installation that shifts form in response to movement, shaping the space around the choreography. A spatial audio setup is used to match sound to the installation and dancers, creating a three-dimensional soundscape throughout the venue. The work brings together dance, installation, and sound in a single performance environment. All elements—movement, space, and audio—are developed to interact in real time. More info.

Restaurant Suggestion:
Pala Berlin - Greek Cafe (⭐4/5)
This café had been on our list for a while, and we finally got around to trying it. Pala serves Greek-style brunch with a small, focused menu and a solid selection of coffee. On sunny days, there’s outdoor seating available. The service was friendly and carried a sense of Greek hospitality. The limited menu (here) works in their favor, allowing them to concentrate on doing a few dishes well rather than offering too many options. You can add extras like eggs, avocado, or bacon to most dishes. We ordered the Melitzana (above image - €13) with an additional egg (€2), and also tried the Fava (€13.5), which was nicely balanced and flavorful. The homemade lemonade made with lime, mint, blueberries, and rhubarb stood out as it was refreshing, not overly sweet, and made with fresh fruit. If you're in the neighborhood and want a relaxed brunch spot, Pala Café is worth checking out.
