Artist Support London Voila! Festival 2024 | Uproar by Rieckhof/Silva Friday 15th November 7.30pm - 8:15pm Saturday 16th October 7:30pm - 8:15pm Book Now "Uproar" is an interdisciplinary solo performance exploring the right to protest and the power of collective action. A journey from injustice to hope, powered by unity. Blending rebellious dance, unique sonorous costumes, and archival audiovisuals, it honours the Latin American tradition of using music and dance as political expression. Created in response to the deaths of 50 civilians in Peru (2022-2023), "Uproar" sheds light on Peru's ongoing crisis—rooted in unresolved colonial issues like discrimination, racism, and classism. It raises awareness of peaceful protests and invites audiences to sound together in a collective call for social justice, fostering empathy and solidarity in facing these global challenges. This original project by Latin American immigrant artist women in the UK, aims to inspire social justice, and present new strategies for cohesion and resilience through art.
