Central, the first Central American and Caribbean performance festival, will take place during the months of September, October and November 2024 at Grace Exhibition Space, a space for creative experimentation that has been dedicated to performance for more than a decade, located in the Lower East Side, in Manhattan, New York. In this festival, attendees will be able to see twenty performances and works by artists who work from immateriality and the creation of ephemeral experiences from the body, a true feast for the senses exploring themes such as violence, migration, diaspora, the abuse of power, identity and other problems intrinsic to the human being. Curated by the Mexican artist Pancho Lopez, this festival seeks to build a bridge between the Central American region, some Caribbean islands and one of the most important global stages in the world in terms of art and culture: New York City.
