Join us and meet international artists and presenters. This year the breakfast will also offer a virtual dance experience organized by Koros/Agora de la Danse. Four VR headsets will be available to experience two dance pieces by Hélène Blackburn and Andrea Peña. This event is free. RSVP to newdancealliance@gmail.com. Space is limited.
This collaborative work features two large metal structures, a computer from 1983, and small, yellow 3D-printed sculptures in a scenography evoking the ruins of capitalism and the waste produced by the constant renewal of technology. The dance inside grows like an optimistic mushroom, the matsutake. Embodying a punk, apocalyptic, and feminist approach, the piece gives power back to dance and expels our ecological despair.
Join us for a reception following the performance.
“The festival was such a wonderfully supportive community of artists to perform amongst and a generous audience as well. The performances were inspiring and exceptionally well-run, which I appreciated.”
