Autotherapy at the Potsdam Dance Days: An intense evening between body, memory, and present
With Autotherapy, the festival for contemporary dance brings an evening to Potsdam that relies not on mere movement, but on inner tension, history, and physical presence. Mackenzy Bergile combines choreography, music, poetry, and research into a performance that makes the body readable as an archive.

A festival moment full of energy and significance
The Potsdam Dance Days 2026 run from May 26 to June 7, featuring eight German premieres, 13 international productions, 36 workshops, and 7 concerts, making it one of the major dance festivals in Germany. Autotherapy fits precisely into this festival dynamic: intense, intellectually strong, and with a stage presence that immediately draws in. ([fabrikpotsdam.de](https://fabrikpotsdam.de/format/95))
What the audience can expect
In fragmented sessions, a dialogue unfolds between memory and present. The official event text describes a search for traces, in which the body begins to speak, while French and English texts and English subtitles open up access. The result is not an easy entertainment format, but a concentrated club experience of a different kind: dense, sensual, and with a strong impact on the space.

Venue, atmosphere, and access
The performance will take place at the Hans Otto Theater located at Schiffbauergasse 11, 14467 Potsdam. The cultural quarter is near the Havel; the official directions indicate public transport connections via the Schiffbauergasse Uferweg and Schiffbauergasse Berliner Straße stops, as well as parking facilities on-site and in the Contipark parking garage.
