Valerie Green travels to Colombia for a 10-day residency with Concuerpos dancers. Valerie will choreograph one of three parts of the company’s triptych “IRA”, influenced by her own cross-collaborative work HOME.

About the Work

IRA is a triptych-like piece that addresses the issue of anger as a feeling that arises in the face of injustice and that has the potential to instigate social change. Three choreographers, two nationals and one international, present their own perspective on questions such as: Where do the different expressions of anger inhabit in the body? How does this feeling arise and how is it transformed? What can mobilize anger beyond destruction? Is anger part of our sentimental identity as Colombians? Although the work is made up of three pieces, as a whole it develops an artistic language based on the notion of Universal Accessibility. This means that it integrates elements such as Sign Language and audio description as expressive means within its dramaturgy, so that all audiences can enjoy it.
