Dance Library

Dimenti

Free Event

“Dance Library” is a human and choreographic library in which artists are available for a few hours, transforming their bodies into “living books” to share with the public memories linked to dances that marked their lives and contexts. Around the tables, stories are constructed through gestures, movements, words, conversations and affection. Each book-artist occupies one of the library’s tables and offers the public their chapter-scenes. To watch the work, visitors make their own journey through different tables, being able to arrive at any time and stay for as long as they wish throughout the presentation hours.

Date and Time:

Saturday, 1:30 – 4:30 pm

Location:

Tūranga, F03, between the shelves

Trigger warnings:

Dance Library works with the proximity of artists and audience. Visitors sit around a table with the artists.
