Visceral, transgressive and magnetic, Andrea Peña & Artists’ UK debut production 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 hybrid work employs the company’s trademark use of movement as a vehicle for storytelling, embarking on an esoteric journey through a universe charged with magical realism. It uncovers passageways to transcendence, honouring the rebellion of deviant bodies and paying tribute to resilience within the post-colonial era.

A panel of internationally acclaimed artists, artistic directors and curators explore how art shapes – and is shaped by – the cities we inhabit. Sites of Meaning considers how culture, memory and migration influence our experience of place in a world defined by a multiplicity of voices and perspectives. 

Facilitated by cultural strategist and former managing director of the Black Cultural Archives, Lisa Anderson, the discussion will draw on threads weaved within this year’s Festival opening show BOGOTÁ. The guests will include the show’s choreographer Andrea Peña, whose background in fashion and design has brought international renown. 

Joining them is architect, activist and educator Jayden Ali who works at the intersection of urban strategy, art and performance, and Mariam Zulfiqar who is the Director of Artangel and former leader of the National Art Programme and Forestry England.

Change Tempo is a double bill that introduces London audiences to two distinctive artists set to make their mark, while challenging expectations of dance. This year’s dynamic pairing of artists are known for pushing the boundaries of their forms to unpick cultural narratives and expose hidden tensions. 

In Siren Dance, Stockholm-based Australian artist and Cullberg dancer Lilian Steiner plays with seduction, illusion and shifting truths. A siren beckons – her invitation laced with both desire and deception. As the dance unfolds, it morphs and adapts, slipping between honesty and artifice, drawing the audience into its magnetic pull. Siren Dance is a mesmerising exploration of power, transformation and the fine line between authenticity and disguise. 

Spanish flamenco dancer and actor María del Mar Suárez/La Chachi’s Random Taranto turns the everyday into something extraordinary. Two women, Suárez and singer Lola Delores, share a moment – eating sunflower seeds, exchanging glances – until flamenco erupts, raw and electric. Stripped back to voice and movement, this take on the Taranto form pulses with improvisation, irreverence and unexpected humour. The result is a strikingly intimate yet playful reimagining of tradition, where dance and song intertwine in unpredictable ways.

Blending a cappella singing with expressive movement, Gesualdo Passione is a modern creation inspired by 17th century composer Carlo Gesualdo’s work, by choreographer Amala Dianor and Les Arts Florissants, conducted by Paul Agnew.

In this story of suffering and love, the body is central. Amala Dianor’s choreography seamlessly blends classical, modern and hip hop movement vocabularies, mirroring the contrast within the music. Six singers from Les Arts Florissants and four dancers from Compagnie Amala Dianor unite past and present in this unique stage creation.

Dance Umbrella audiences will remember Amala’s critically acclaimed past creations – Emaphakathini, commissioned by South African company Via Katlehong in 2023 at Sadler’s Wells, and before that presented his own company’s work somewhere in the middle of infinity in 2019 as part of a mixed bill of works at the Linbury Theatre at Royal Opera House.

This visually arresting and deeply moving production tells the story of a community suddenly confronted by the immense power of wind and waves, awakening a heightened awareness of how far they have drifted from nature. 

Tjimur Dance Theatre, Taiwan’s premier contemporary dance company, is dedicated to exploring and expressing the identity of the indigenous Paiwan people. 

Choreographed by Baru Madiljin, bulabulay mun? / how are you? draws on the historic Mudan shipwreck incident of 1874 – a traumatic chapter in Taiwanese history, to reflect on the relationship between human actions and their unforeseen consequences. 

Through an interplay of traditional Mudan songs and dance, bulabulay mun? seeks to heal historical wounds and revive ancestral memory, embodying the resilience and spirit of the Paiwan people. At its heart is a poetic meditation on our elemental connection to the world, an invitation to attune our senses and rediscover our place within nature. 

A specially filmed of bulabulay mun? shot on location in South Taiwan will screened Barbican Cinema on Sunday 12 October as part of Dance Umbrella Film Series: Sunday Shorts, and will be available to watch via the Digital Pass.

Cypriot performer Elena Antoniou presents a bold and intimate solo that transforms the body into a living stage. With striking physicality and unapologetic presence, she explores how personal experience can become a shared space — a landscape shaped by desire, exposure and resistance. 

Oscillating between pleasure and pain, LANDSCAPE invites us into a world where self-objectification becomes a radical act. Antoniou hypersexualises her form while holding space for trauma, teasing the edges of performance and provocation. The result is a dance that dares to confront the politics of looking — and being looked at. 

Antoniou has presented her work across Europe, collaborating with renowned institutions including Onassis Stegi and the Marina Abramović Institute. Her practice spans choreography, performance and movement direction, and she continues to push boundaries with internationally acclaimed artist Maria Hassabi. With LANDSCAPE, she delivers a performance that is both deeply personal and defiantly political — a vital new voice on the contemporary dance stage.
