Eleonora Talamini Choreographs Die Freundschaft — An European Theatre Production

Berlin-based choreographer Eleonora Talamini presents her latest theatre production, Die Freundschaft, premiering on 24 April 2026 at the St. Pauli Theater in Hamburg. The play is based on the bestselling novel De vriendschap by the acclaimed, prize‑winning Dutch writer Connie Palmen.

The new stage adaptation explores the psychological depth and emotional complexity of friendship, translating literary narrative into a powerful physical language. With this production, Talamini further establishes her voice as a contemporary choreographer working at the intersection of dance, theatre, and storytelling.

In Die Freundschaft, choreography becomes the emotional engine of the performance. Talamini’s movement direction shapes character development, tension, and rhythm, demonstrating her expertise in integrating dance seamlessly into dramatic theatre. Known for her ability to collaborate across disciplines, she works closely with directors, composers, and designers to create cohesive, movement-driven productions that elevate narrative structure through embodied expression.

This project highlights Talamini’s focus on intimate, small‑scale theatre-making and her sensitivity to the nuances of close, detail-oriented performance. Her work often relies on precise physical dramaturgy, tight ensemble interaction, and a strong sense of musical timing.

With Die Freundschaft, Talamini continues to refine her choreographic voice within the larger landscape of dance and theatre. She is currently open to new collaborations and creative partnerships with theatres, directors, and production companies throughout Europe.
