A bridge for dance promotion is enclosed by the “Ins(c)ide Festival of Dance and Transdisciplinarity. Volume VI. Devenir Sureste”, which will come to Mérida from October 4 to 6 to promote the work of local and national artists.
The Deputy Director of Culture, Claudia Chapa Cortés, shared that the Mérida City Council, headed by Cecilia Patrón Laviada, continues to support the talent and creativity of the artistic community with this type of projects that enrich the cultural life of Mérida.
On this occasion, the Olimpo Cultural Center will be one of the venues, along with the University of the Arts of Yucatán and the Casa de la Cultura del Mayab.
The director of the festival Mauricio ChiPis-té explained that this edition of the festival will receive more than 30 artists from various states of the country who voluntarily and self-managed decided to come to share their experiences.
It will include 16 stage pieces with talent from Quintana Roo, Aguascalientes, Chihuahua, Campeche, and Yucatan.
The works cover different realities through three large performances called “Habitares”, “Mezclas” and “Clima”, in which topics such as accepting autism as an identity, the transformations that occur day to day, a corporeal sound piece whose source of inspiration is the subtleties that distinguish us as a species, the stories of Iris, a young dancer who has dedicated her entire life to art in movement, as well as one-person shows and a show that involves dance, literature, and ecology, among others, will be discussed.
Alam Naresh, the general coordinator of the festival, recalled that the “Ins(c)side” has been transformed to bring together artists interested in the performing arts and communication through the body.
In addition to the stage presentations, there will be a Body Flow Workshop by the Michoacan artist Israel Gracia, which will cover contemporary movement techniques for those who wish to venture into a physical, creative, high-performance, experimental activity, etc.
The artist will also present a stage piece that he created after the pandemic and has begun to share in different stage spaces.
Israel Gracia added that the festival already enjoys national recognition and continues to generate a movement around contemporary dance.
There will also be a discussion with people who do contemporary dance in the Peninsula to connect nodes and learn about the feeling of what is happening with this artistic movement in society.
Except for the opening day on October 4, whose entrance will be free and with a voluntary fee, for the rest of the activities, there will be a general box office of 100 pesos. Tickets can be purchased 20 minutes before the performances.
Since its beginnings in 2019, the festival has been attended by artists from different latitudes, backgrounds, and training, and has also been the subject of collaborations with artistic groups and various institutions.
Information on all the works and schedules can be found at @inscide.fest. The activities are aimed at audiences of all ages.
