Danspace Project

The U.S. premiere of "Inês" , a solo work by French choreographer Volmir Cordeiro at Danspace Project in conjunction with the 2015 Performa Biennial.

Inês' desires mirror our own voracity and hunger for new bodies and new performers to discover, observe, evaluate, and eventually discard, and it is this tense relationship between performer and audience that is at the heart of
