The new institution seeks to reimagine the city's art scene.
In March 2020, the playwright and director Raquel Almazan was frantically prepping the premiere of a play titled. Set to open the following month in New York City, the play tells the story of the female prisoners of El Buen Pastor in Bogotá, Colombia as they prepare for the prison’s annual beauty contest. It is a tale of resistance and subversion, reimagining Colombia’s national narrative through the lens of incarcerated women.
“When we look at our residency artists, we are really [looking at] how we can help folks at specific moments of need in their career—where there was some sort of momentum shift or a commission that was earned, then the premiere date was canceled,” explains Donald Borror, managing director of Chelsea Factory.
The space is first and foremost a pandemic response, but it is arguably also a workshop for reimagining the ways in which the performing arts are developed in formal spaces.“One of my lifelong goals is to decolonize,” says Almazan. “It is a lifelong process. I may not even get there at the end. But through this work I realize that it's not just in the content of the work, it's how we make the work.
