Replica is a choreographic odyssey. A powerful duo takes us along in a captivating archaeological performance of movement from mythology to today’s non-binary bodies.
At the heart of an enveloping set, two beings unfold. Dancers Frédérique Rodier and James Philipps explore the history of copying and representing the body, blending myth and technology. The stage becomes a garden, a “queer Garden of Eden”, a world where the complexity of the human form challenges gendered conceptions of the body. This choreographic experience is performance, painting or sculpture. See for yourself!
Andrea Peña & Artists is a company renowned for creating critical, alternative and spatial worlds that break with our notions and understanding of a sentient humanity. Intrigued by the depths of individuality, a theme rooted in her bi-cultural origins, Peña’s choreography is imbued with vulnerability, complexity and dynamic physicality, extending beyond simple movement by means of conceptual research. With a background in industrial design, her works are influenced by the visual arts and spatial qualities, focusing on the body as matter that exists in relation to time and space.
