Performance · Premiere by Sasha Amaya
«Orfeo» is Sasha Amaya's choreo-operative work that deals with the themes of hearing, sound, proximity, power and loss. Amaya moves from Monteverdi's 1607 opera, based on the ancient Greek myth, to contemporary interpretations of its central themes.

Orfeo
At the interface between music and movement and by recasting all roles with female bodies, Amaya explores what happens when the audience turns its attention from Orfeo to Euridice in this legendary story.
By balancing choreographic means, musical fantasies and the relationality of bodies, she juxtaposes tension and flow, constraint and agency, script and sensation.
24.11. Family Friendly Environment
The afternoon performances marked «Family Friendly Environment - All families welcome» are intended to encourage parents and caregivers to participate in the stage program together with their children.
Although the performances are not specifically designed for young audiences, the aim is to create a family-friendly environment. For example, with understanding when children cannot sit still the whole time and families want to leave the performance during the performance or earlier.
Immediately before and after the performance, there is an area with toys and art supplies available for children. Unfortunately, childcare cannot currently be offered.
Admission is free for all accompanied children up to and including 12 years of age.

Sasha Amaya (she/her) is a dancer, choreographer, and installation artist. Amaya’s works are occupied with form, movement, dance, visual art, collage, text, and architectural surrounds as means to revist the so-called canon of art history. In doing so, she utilizes, rejects, reframes, and repurposes historical narratives and techniques in contemporary art work as part of a broader illumination and reconfiguration of the relationship between politics, aesthetics, and the possible. Shown in both visual art and choreographic contexts, her works are known for their combination of play and precision, her biting revisions of the art historical, and the body as a radical agent of form. www.sasha-amaya.com
