MANIFESTA.
a party
a protest
a performance

a collective body raving, raging, reveling.

fresh,
rebellious,
magical-and-political-potentiality

Re-inscribing memories of past and present,
we acknowledge that ancient knowledge
is always crossing with newly acquired ones.

In the dialogue between
time and space,
south and even further south,
Atlantic and Pacific,
traditions, languages, and hemispheres,
we manifest.

Inspired by the carnaval traditions in South America, in dialogue with the vibrant energy of Ōtautahi’s rave scene, MANIFESTA is bringing a party-protest performance to the Climate Action Campus uniting diverse communities through movement, performance, and activism.

Choreographed by Brazilian-born, New Zealand-based artist, Janaína Moraes, MANIFESTA is an invitation to experience how the collective body manifests its forces, thinking about the collective “party-body” as a political one: a body in potential, a body in protest.

This show is designed as an experience to reflect on parties as acts of resistance. While bodies move, together, dancing, drumming, singing, we manifest our dreams of change.
Come to an afternoon/evening of joy,
celebration,
rage and magic!

MANIFESTA is the sixth edition of MAP’s Community Choreographic Project: An innovative platform that brings together community dancers and artists to collaborate on professionally choreographed pieces in unique, site-specific locations around our city.
