GERMANY’S BOOTSHAUS PRESENTS A BOUNDARY-BREAKING NEW EXPERIENCE WITH ‘A TECHNO BALLET ODYSSEY’

Three nights of immersive storytelling will fuse full-scale ballet, a live techno score and an all-night party into a seamless experience inside one of Germany’s most atmospheric venues.

Tickets: Thursday | Friday | Saturday
Bootshaus Website | Bootshaus on Instagram | Berlin Ballet Company

This February, Bootshaus presents ‘A Techno Ballet Odyssey’, a bold new hybrid of high art and nightlife culture that merges a full-scale ballet performance with an all-night techno experience. Taking place across three exclusive dates on February 26th, 27th and 28th, 2026, this groundbreaking event invites audiences into an immersive world where dance, music and club energy collide.

‘A Techno Ballet Odyssey’ unfolds across three seamless chapters, reshaping the meaning of a night out. First is the Pre-Show Party from 20:00 to 22:00. The evening begins with an Opening DJ Set that sets the tone, building anticipation and steady rhythm as the venue transforms from club to stage.

The Show then runs 22:00 - 23:15. At the heart of the night is a 70-minute ballet performance by the Berlin Ballet Company, unfolding not on a distant stage, but within the crowd. Dancers move across three platforms in a striking production that follows a central figure losing himself in the night and an Odyssean journey back to identity, as told through powerful choreography, hypnotic visuals and a driving techno score composed and performed live by Marko Nastić,  whose performance blurs the line between classical composition and club energy.

Then comes the After-Show Party from 23:15 to 06:00. The night continues with a full-scale techno event featuring a heavyweight line-up featuring Marko Nastić as well as Pauli Pocket from Kater Blau in Berlin, Drumcode's Sudo and Tresor's Handmade. 

The fusion of ballet and clubbing rewrites what nightlife can be while transforming Bootshaus into a living, breathing performance space where discipline meets chaos  and the boundaries between audience and performer disappear.

Hosted inside one of Europe’s most acclaimed electronic music institutions, A TECHNO BALLET ODYSSEY embodies Bootshaus’ commitment to pushing culture forward. The iconic venue is known for its raw shipyard architecture, world-class sound and spectacular visual production as it continues to redefine what an electronic music venue can be by prioritising creativity, immersion and community over VIP culture.

PACHA ICONS ANNOUNCES KEINEMUSIK DESERT SHOW AT BAB AL SHAMS ARENA; DUBAI, UAE

• Keinemusik ignite the Dubai desert for the first time ever as Pacha ICONS transforms Bab Al Shams Arena into a world-class open-air spectacle

 

• In a breathtaking desert setting, PACHA ICONS unveils its largest-ever production

 

• &ME, Rampa and Adam Port headline a rare, extended set crafted exclusively for this iconic night

Pacha ICONS presents Keinemusik for a major one-off Dubai show on Saturday, 28 March 2026, marking the Berlin-based collective’s first-ever desert performance in the UAE. Stepping beyond its signature Playa Pacha venue at FIVE LUXE JBR, this special edition will take over the vast Bab Al Shams Arena - one of the region’s most striking open-air settings. With its otherworldly desert energy and elevated large-scale production, the show promises to be an unmissable, once-in-a-year experience.

Pacha ICONS brings the legendary music experience of Pacha Ibiza to audiences beyond the island. Created under FIVE’s vision following its acquisition of the brand, Pacha ICONS translates the iconic Ibiza atmosphere into global destinations, including both Playa Pacha in Dubai and Destino Five Ibiza. The series has become renowned for its fusion of world-class DJs, high-spec production and immersive audio-visual storytelling. Each edition captures the signature atmosphere that defines both Pacha Ibiza and FIVE - transformative moments, powerful narrative-driven sets and experiences guests carry with them long after the night ends. This ambitious desert showcase further underscores FIVE’s commitment to pushing boundaries and redefining nightlife in the Middle East.

The full Keinemusik trio - &ME, Rampa and Adam Port - will headline the event, following Rampa and Adam Port’s standout Pacha ICONS debut in April 2024. Formed in Berlin and celebrated for their soul-steeped, percussive sound, the collective has played a defining role in shaping today’s melodic and Afro-influenced house music. Their label has produced multiple global anthems, including Adam Port, Stryv and Malachiii’s chart-dominating “MOVE,” which became a viral sensation across clubs and social platforms worldwide.

Famed for their marathon sets and magnetic rhythmic energy, Keinemusik consistently draws full-capacity crowds across the globe. Their Dubai desert debut will be no exception. Bab Al Shams Arena will be reimagined with expansive staging, immersive lighting and high-impact visuals designed to amplify the trio’s emotionally charged sound - setting the stage for a high-energy open-air experience unlike anything else in the region.
