RUDA / Ayelen Parolin has been an associate artist at the Théâtre National Wallonie-Bruxelles since 2022, at the Coursive Scène Nationale de la Rochelle since 2025, and at Mille Plateaux –CCN La Rochelle, with the support of the Ministry of Culture, from 2026 to 2028.

In collaboration with Bolzano Danza

Drawing inspiration from the exuberance of the Buenos Aires carnival and the corso—the festive Latin American parade—Ayelen Parolin shapes music such as murga and cumbia to imagine a vortex of indomable movements. She ignites the stage with an exhilarating choreography that blends the influences of the liberating rebellion of joyful crowds with vibrant explosions of energy.

Performed by twelve dancers, Irresistible Revolution imagines a choreographic utopia in which the joy of play creates a liberating space; through untamed gestures, collective impulses, and popular references, the dancers venture into a choreographic ode to the act of being together. Like many festive and joyful dances, it serves as fertile ground for a possible utopia. This finds an echo in the thought of Adrienne Maree Brown and her Pleasure Activism, which turns pleasure into a field of exploration and resistance—a space where collective joy and bodies meet to release new possibilities for social resonance and new ways of being together.
