With IARA: Ballet for the Amazons of Yesterday and Today, choreographer Laura Arend shares her artistic journey of celebrating and amplifying female strength. Inspired by the myth of the Amazons, this new creation explores the legacy of fearless women throughout history and their lasting impact on the fight for equality and emancipation. Through a fusion of classical and contemporary dance, three female performers create a powerful dialogue between past and present, between legendary warriors and today’s Amazons. Central to their performance is a transformable skirt, morphing from cape to dress to flag, embodying the defiant and versatile nature of women. The choreography unfolds within a circular play of light imagined by Jean-Yves Beck, evoking cycles of struggle, rebirth and solidarity, while Brazilian composer Marian blends classical opera with electronic music to bridge past and present. The dance becomes a gentle yet powerful weapon against patriarchal norms, an invitation to reconsider our personal and collective battles, and a celebration of the Amazons.
