Open Rehearsal | The company Acción Residente

The company Acción Residente will present Replica (Aftershock) in an open rehearsal to the public. Replica is an experiential performance that features encounters between four random people who transform their relationship through a violent corporal language.

Compañia Acción Residente was created in 2015 by members of the dance and theater company UMOVI. UMOVI was formed at the University of Chile, where the company met and studied. Since 2009, led by chilean choreographer Sebástian Belmar, UMOVI began working on a variety of investigation and scenic projects which have been presented in both theaters and body festivals. Some of the highlights in this period are Provocaciones (Incitements), El Golpe (The Coup) and a piece to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Chilean military coup, a commemorative event entitled A 40 años del golpe (40 years after the Coup). In 2015, UMOVI began investigating their work deeper and gave birth to Resident Action. During their residency at The Watermill Center, the company will develop their first work Replica (Aftershock).
