6.58: Manifesto presents a choreographic tryptic, which critically explores the concept of artifice and artificiality, as constructs of our contemporary society.
Artificiality as a post-industrial reality that silently filters into our minds and bodies, as we are intertwined amongst technology and machines. Artifice is observed as artificiality’s seduction that wraps our experiences, interactions and notion of the future human. A human that is both artificial and artifice. 6 dancers, in conversation with the hegemony of a machine, opera singer, and DJ; transverse 3 disarticulated tableaux while experimenting on the notion of flesh and mind, as mediated by external forces.

Originally from Bogota, Colombia, Andrea Peña is a multidisciplinary artist whose creative practice transverses the fields of art installation, choreography and design. Founded in 2014, Andrea Peña & Artists is recognized within Canada and internationally for her creation of critical, alternative and spatial universes that that rupture our notions of a sensible humanity and engage in deep encounters between the physical body and the self. Peña’s highly intricate, vulnerable and raw choreography, is situated at a national and international scale presenting works in Hong Kong, Spain, India, Panama, Mexico, Dominican Republic and Canada. Nationally Peña’s works have been presented by DanseDanse, Attakalari India Biennale, Arsenal Art Contemporain, Festival Quartiers Danses, Maison de la Culture Maisonneuve, Musee des Beaux Arts, Canadian Center for Architecture, Hong Kong International Choreography Festival, Festival International de Dansa de la Cuidad de Mexico, AADK Spain, IONION Arts Center Greece, Laval Symphony Orchestra and SpringBoard, amongst others. Peña has been highlighted with numerous awards for her conceptual and highly rigorous creations, recently including the 2018 Banff Arts Center's Clifford E. Lee Canadian Choreography award and the 2018 Hong Kong International Choreography Award.
