Created by Inger‐Reidun Olsen, the founder of the Kompani iRo dance troupe, during a residency at Experimental El Eco in Mexico City, RE‐ACTION is a performance that explores the phenomenon of power by probing the ways in which power dynamics affect us. Premiere Performance on Sunday, October 30th, 7‐8 pm, with shows running through November 12th.
Over the past few weeks, the dance company has been practicing at .NO, tailoring the new show specifically to the gallery space. Its interactive structure allows the performers to leverage the viewers’ participation to call attention to the power relations that emerge among them, in the dancers’ relationship to the audience and between performers and onlookers.
Parallels may be drawn from such relations to a societal perspective where one continually has to take a stand on and negotiate power – both on a personal level in people’s daily lives and on the grand scale of national and global macropolitics.
