El Vientre del Animal – Andrea Peña, Montreal, 2015, 2016
Following a brief career at Ballet British Colombia and Ballets Jazz de Montréal, Andrea Peña decided to take flight and create her own work. Meanwhile, she is studying design, which influences her choreographic research. In ZERO UNO UNO ZERO, Andrea Peña takes up the challenge of presenting the essence of a 60-minute piece in 30 minutes. This work for seven dancers pulls you into an immersive universe where dancers and spectators dive into one visceral world: joys, absurdities and unconscious operations are explored.
