The Valparaíso Free Dance Biennial has concluded for this year, with tonight being one of the last two nights remaining to attend. The biennial, held from 6 to 21 August, showcased nine works exploring themes such as migration, mental health, and the city's abandoned funiculars. Tonight's performances at the theatre of the Parque Cultural de Valparaíso, on Cerro Cárcel, include "Mi sombra en el azul de un reflejo" by La Fuga and "18.O Cenizas de la revuelta" by Consecuencia.
The biennial will close with "estado #3" by hangar_espacio_ on Friday, 21 August. Each performance is followed by a post-show discussion, making the event accessible even for dance newbies. The biennial aims to highlight underrepresented voices, including those about LGBTIQANB+ identity and Valparaíso's neglected funiculars. While the biennial ran in August, the programming is created for the entire Valparaíso Region, not just the port city. If you miss tonight's show, the next Valparaíso dance biennial won't take place until 2028.
