Bodyland

Bodyland is an appeal to our humanity - that which unites us at our core. It is a statement that diversity is not a contradiction to peace, but its foundation.

In her dance solo, Irene Carreño processes migration and cultural hybridity in contemporary movement language. As an archive of diverse imprints (based on traditional dances from the Colombian Andean, Pacific and Caribbean regions), her body bears witness to change (through post-modern dance), resistance and belonging - a poetic reflection on social and cultural identity.

A political sign: If a single body can unite all the complexity and beauty of different influences and lead to a wonderful new melange, then a sustainable peaceful coexistence of different cultures is not only possible, but also without alternative.
