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.
