Ayelen ParolinHeretics

Ayelen Parolin (1976) was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and now lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. She studied at the National School of Dance and the San Martin Theatre in Buenos Aires. In Europe she trained as part of the e.x.e.r.c.e programme in Montpellier. As a performer she has worked for Mathilde Monnier, Mossoux-Bonte, François Peyret, Mauro Paccagnella, Louise Vanneste, Alexandra Bachzetsis, Anne Lopez, and Riina Saastamoinen.

She has created and shown her work in Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Norway, Finland, Germany, Luxembourg, Estonia, and Argentina. She was a laureate of Pépinières Européennes for Young Artists Programme XXL.

She created a solo called 25.06.76, in which she explores her autobiography. With Troupeau/Rebaño she confronts the animal that lies dormant in each of us, and with the piece SMS and Love she questions femininity and its group dynamics. In her work DAVID she contemplates the male figure. This piece is also an exploration of senses and a deconstruction of clichés from a canonical model, a motif as well, and the symbol of manhood: the David of Michelangelo. For her latest work, Heretics, Ayelen Parolin collaborated with composer Lea for the first time. Lea performs a piano piece live during the performance.
