What can the things we carry with us reveal about memory, migration and resistance?
Presented by CASA and Brixton House
Following his Lines of Flight Dance & Movement Residency, choreographer Raúl Reinoso premieres Casserole, a new short performance exploring memory, migration and resistance through movement.
Taking the idea of the casserole as a starting point, Reinoso explores what we carry with us across places and generations, and how memory can live through the body, transform and take on new meanings over time.
Developed through the residency and presented here for the first time, Casserole offers audiences an encounter with a new work as it emerges from Reinoso’s ongoing choreographic research.
Acts of Looking: Dance & Movement
Casserole forms part of Acts of Looking: Dance & Movement, a day of performances, workshops and encounters at Brixton House exploring the body as a site of knowledge, connection and transformation.
The day is part of Acts of Looking, the final chapter of Lines of Flight, CASA’s year-round multi-arts programme curated by Gabriela Román González at Brixton House, asking what we choose to pay attention to, what remains unseen, and how changing the way we look might change the way we live.
