Cecilia Bengolea: Deary Steel, a new commission by Esch2022 & Mudam Luxembourg

Esch2022 and Mudam Luxembourg present "Deary Steel" (2022) a new body of work by artist and choreographer Cecilia Bengolea.
Bringing together dance, performance, sculpture and video installation this newly commissioned work unfolds across two spaces: Socle C, the concrete foundations of former Blast Furnace C in Esch-Belval in the South of Luxembourg, and the Great Hall of Mudam.
“Deary Steel” explores the genesis of the social and material dimensions of the industrial era, and how they have choreographed the post-industrial era including connections to the early 20th century dance form danse libre (Free Dance). It is inspired by the artist’s fascination with the mineral origins of our planet and the production of steel as an alluring choreography of the elements reflecting these origins.
"Deary Steel" is curated by Vincent Crapon & Joel Valabrega
