Open Rehearsal | Acci?n Residente @ The Watermill Center

Please join us on Saturday, April 23 at The Watermill Center as the company Acción Resident​e​ presents their work on Réplica to the public in an open rehearsal. Réplica, “Aftershock,” is an experiential performance ​featuring​​ encounters between four random people who transform their relationship through a violent, corporeal language.

Acción Resident​e​ is a theater and performance company created in 2015 by members of the dance and theater company UMOVI. The group investigates how contemporary social and political problems affect the physical relationship between the body and movement. UMOVI, a dance and theater company, was formed in 2009 at the University of Chile, where the group met and studied. Led by Chilean choreographer Sebástian Belmar, UMOVI began work on a variety of experimental and theatrical projects. Works from this period include Provocaciones, El Golpe and an event entitled A cuarenta años del golpe commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Chilean military coup. In 2015, UMOVI members Alejandro Contreras Vergara, Gonzalo Dalgalarrando Haritçalde, Carolina Díaz Martínez and Ébana Garín Coronel formed Acción Residente. Réplica is the company’s first work together.
