Visceral, transgressive and magnetic, BOGOTÁ constructs a brutalist landscape out of choreography inspired by Colombia’s political and spiritual heritage. With striking intensity, nine performers chronicle transformations between chaos and rebirth, incarnating the tensions of ever-unfolding and turbulent histories.
Offering a raw, physical experience of mutation and ultimately resurrection, BOGOTÁ delves into inherited mythologies in order to consider how origins are embodied and mortality is expressed through the endless cycles of existence and death.
This powerful work employs movement as a vehicle for storytelling, embarking on an esoteric journey through a universe charged with magic realism. It uncovers passageways to transcendence, honoring the rebellion of deviant bodies and paying tribute to resilience within the post-colonial era.

Artist Bio
Andrea Peña & Artists
Andrea Peña & Artists is recognized for the creation of critical, alternative and spatial
universes that rupture our notions of a sensible humanity. Interested in the depth of human
individuality that breaches from a personal disposition as a bi-cultural artist, Peña’s
approach is known for its difficult choreography as a highly intricate, vulnerable and somatic
raw physicality that engages in deep encounters between the physical body and a highly
conceptual research approach. With a background in industrial design her work borrows
from visual art practices and spatial qualities of creative making, questioning the body as a
material whom exists relationship to space and time.
