“On the Edge: 2nd International Latinx Performance Art Festival”

On the Edge: 2nd International Latinx Performance Art Festival is the second Latinx performance art festival based in Seattle, showcasing a wide range of experimental performance grounded in the themes of inclusion, identity and intersectionality.

Featuring a wide range of pan-Latine/x artists and supporters, these performances will range from intimate, single-person storytelling, to medium-length, mixed-media group performances, as well as durational, non-traditional, conceptual and video performances.

The event is headlined by visiting artist, Katherine Adamenko, a Cuban-born, New York-based performance artist and Butoh writer, who will be presenting an iconic third-wave feminist piece from the 90s, Beauty Borg. Accompanying the live performances will be video showcasing further work by the performers as well as major historical pieces in Latine/x performance art history.

This festival is supported by the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and 4Culture, with further support from La Sala, Centro Cultural de Mexico, CoCA and others.
