„Dopokąd tańczą”. Taniec jako język zaangażowania na rzecz (s)pokoju

The choreographic productions of an American couple with an immigrant background are discussed here in the context of working for peace. The selected dance expressions of Keone and Mari Madrid activate the language of engagement, shedding some light on a variety of contemporary social problems related to isolation: the drama of contemporary refugees (We Are) and those suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic (Good Vibes Dance). The artistic duo’s multisensory choreographic works shift the viewers’ focus to the kinaesthetic code as well as the words and music, telling a story that is to facilitate a better understanding of social issues. Concentrating on the quality of the me–me, me–others relations, the Madrids allow us to redefine what we think about dance and recognise it as a readily available tool for building peace. The artists treat the dance as an innate language that undoes isolation.
