Commissioned by Sadler’s Wells for Liberty Festival in September 2016, Uchronia uses nostalgia as a starting point to tell a story with multiple endings, exploring what might have been…
An international co-creation between Brazilian artists Natalia Mallo and Giselle Calazans, and Marc Brew, Uchronia explores how re-inventing the past can shape an alternative future.
The piece has been created in 3 sections and is 20 minutes long.
The team also created MayBe.
Uchronia premiered at the Liberty Festival and was then shown at the Gathered Together Festival in Glasgow in September 2016.
It is appearing as part of Dance Festival Malta in April 2025.
