Frekans - Ankara DOB

About this event

Frekans is a contemporary dance double bill by Ankara State Opera and Ballet (Ankara Devlet Opera ve Balesi), listed under the company MDT programme, at the Opera Sahnesi on Atatürk Bulvarı in Ulus. The performance on 14 November 2026 starts at 20:00, and further performances are listed on 28 November (13:00), 16 December (20:00) and 19 December 2026 (20:00). The first piece, Thrill (Heyecan), choreographed by Dong Kyu Kim, uses the image of people sailing together in one large boat through a destructive typhoon. According to the company, it stresses moving together and finding freedom within rules and order, and presents each hardship as a chance to strengthen togetherness. The second piece, Son Kalp Atışına Dek (Until the Last Heartbeat), is billed as a world premiere and as an analogue work for the digital age. The company describes it as a theatre work for dancing people about how humans connect, disconnect and long to reconnect, at a time when technology both brings people together and pushes them apart. Choreographed by Michael Charles Popper, it was created collaboratively with all the artists involved and draws on the European Tanztheater tradition and on experimental, physical and absurd theatre. The music includes Brahms waltzes from Op. 39, a sarabande from Bach's first cello suite, a Boccherini fandango and the song Fever. Stage and costume design are by Aydan Çınar. Tickets are sold through Biletinial, linked from the Devlet Opera ve Balesi website.
