Frantics is a dance-theatre collective based in Berlin, founded in 2013 by Carlos Aller, Marco di Nardo, Diego de la Rosa and Juan Tirado. Together they redefine performative codes across international stages, site-specific and outdoor settings, immersive experiences and educational projects.

Their work blends dynamic choreography, physical theatre, visual dramaturgy and lighting design to create productions that invite audiences to engage deeply with themes of identity and transformation.

Frantics has toured its performances in Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Ireland, France, the Netherlands, Greece, Israel, Taiwan and beyond. Their productions have won awards at Burgos-New York, the Hannover Choreographic Competition, the Jerusalem International Choreography Competition and the RIDCC, among others.

They have created commissioned works for the Theater Osnabrück and Of Curious Nature (Bremen) and continue to develop new commissions for other venues. Since 2020 Katherina Vasiliadis has been part of Frantics as head of international relations and management, overseeing the company’s global partnerships and institutional collaborations.

Individually, the founders have collaborated with Staatstheater Kassel, Punchdrunk, Akram Khan, Wang Ramírez, Staatstheater Bremen and Iron Skullz Spain.
