SACRA // Stage Trailer

“The harness experiments worked on both metaphorical and literal levels: the imagery alluded instantly to physical labour, while you watched humans negotiate weight and connection in real time...For fans, ‘SACRA’ felt bracingly fresh” - Stir

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the world premiere of Andrea Peña’s first work for the company—the second recipient of the Ballet BC Emily Molnar Emerging Choreographer Award!

Del col·lapse també pot néixer una nova forma de cos.

'Bogotà' s'estrena a Barcelona pel #GrecFestival50 amb Andrea Peña & Artists @apartists per desplegar un univers de dansa magnètic, polític i radical on mort i resurrecció deixen de ser final i començament per convertir-se en transformació contínua.

Nou intèrprets habiten aquest “barroc post-andí” entre mitologia, realisme màgic, arquitectura i memòria postcolonial, en una experiència performativa que travessa espiritualitat, resistència i renaixement.

@andreapena__ converteix l’escena en un paisatge visceral on el cos queer i la història política dialoguen des del caos cap a una nova possibilitat.

📍 @mercatflors
📆 4 i 5 de juliol

Una coproducció d’AP&A, International Festival of Contemporary Dance: @labiennale di Venezia, @agoradanse, Danse Danse.

Thank you @nuvomag for this nuanced article highlighting the layers of conceptual and philosophical backbones of my work. “For Peña, it’s a chance to push further into an aesthetic where “mythologies, aesthetics of excess and fragility, relationship to spirituality, hybridity, and collective memory are not peripheral gestures but are central to the future of contemporary culture.”

Exploring what I like to think of as “the new sublime”. A work exploring trance and ritual, where the body is both vessel and bridge between ethereal and physical. James (@sir_pottington) wearing @rombautofficial with @tanzkassel for @staatstheaterkassel last year during Transmuted Symphony.

Known for her “visceral and collaborative” approach, Andrea will lead the cohort in creating a new original piece at the Mobius Atelier in Novi Velia, Italy 🇮🇹

A bi-cultural artist (Bogotá/Montréal) and director of @apartists, Peña’s practice moves across choreography, design, and performative systems. Her work has shown at La Biennale di Venezia (2023), and she is a 2026 CHANEL Next Prize recipient.

At the Mobius Atelier, participants engage in a rigorous process where process is held with equal importance to outcome—a space where structure, care, and collective intelligence shape the work from within.

Mobius Infinity is a high-level contemporary dance intensive for the next generation of professional movers.

If this resonates with your practice, we invite you to apply.
