Performance Biennial 2021
The Performance Biennial 2021 is an event organized by Fundación Babilonia para las Artes, la Ciencia y la Cultura, intending to celebrate and make performance visible, supporting artistic projects that escape simplifying definitions. "We believe in interdisciplinary and organic expressions, in liminal, eccentric and expanded manifestations, in which the artist's body is presented in all its poetic and revolutionary potential," they explain on their website.
Since its first edition in 2015, the Biennial has sought to promote the connection, interaction, and cooperation between artists and to promote new spaces for discovery and transformation that encourage the emergence of new languages. Therefore, it has a program of academic activities: seminars, workshops, and meetings that seek to review and expose ideas to bridge the gap between the universe of performance and scholar discourse.
The curatorial team comprises artists and academics who work from a democratic perspective to create and sustain a collaborative device that accompanies the artists in their research and productions. For 2021 Graciela Casabé is the general director; Maricel Álvarez is in charge of curatorship and artistic programming, and Susana Tambutti is in charge of academic programming.
The 2021 edition will be different since it will have a duration of 5 months; the event began on Friday, November 19, and will last until April 16, 2022. It will include more than twenty performances, talks, workshops, conferences, and guest programs (such as the Queer Art Festival and the Impulse Hunters program).
The artistic programming will feature projects by: Mercedes Azpilicueta, Agustina Muñoz, Diego Bianchi, Jorge Crowe, Javier Bustos, Leticia Mazur, Sofia Durrieu, Grupo Krapp, Iván Haidar, Tamara Kuselman, La Mujer mutante - Victoria Roland, Juan Coulasso, Gonzalo Lagos, Guille MOngan, Jor Mongan, Mariano Linás, Rabih Mroué, Andrea Servera, Mariana Tirantte, and Lisandro Rodriguez.
The academic program will feature projects by: Vir Cano, Bernardita Epelbaum, Dolores Curia, Georgina Orellano, Marsha Gall, Margarita Molfino, Alina Marinelli, Lia García (La Novia Sirena), Gille Mongan, Poshitsa, Iván Haidar, Gonzalo Lagos, Jor Mongan, Ricardo Manetti, Maria Valdez, Florencia Mazzadi and Mariela Bond.
