This is SARAIKATIA
An Evening of International Collaboration, Creativity, and Community Impact
A captivating evening of dance, creativity, and international collaboration in “This is SARAIKATIA”, a dynamic showcase featuring works by Katia Tubini, LPP Dance Company’s Executive & Artistic director from Italy, sarAika movement collective and Lo Poppy. Experience LPP | Katia Tubini’s premier show collaborating with professional NYC-based 10 dancers, sarAika movement collective’s new duet “Skin Deep”, portraying queer love between two women, emphasizing tenderness, acceptance, and resilience, and Fluid Creature Collective | Lo Poppy’s “patient meld” inspired by The Art of Kintsugi.
While the evening promises incredible artistry and collaboration, it also plays a pivotal role in the creation of a new work dedicated to and about immigrant senior women. This production, set to premiere in May 2025, will be presented by sarAika movement collective with playwright Federica Borlenghi. This work is part of University Settlement’s residency program, through which we have been building strong connections with their immigrant senior women’s community—participating in their activities, sharing dance steps, engaging in conversations, and fostering meaningful exchanges.
Our aim is to amplify the voices of those who have historically held essential roles as parents, workers, teachers, and so much more in the fabric of New York City. Their contributions have been integral to the city’s growth and vitality, and without them, the immigrant communities that make up NYC would not exist as they do today. In recognition of their invaluable impact, we aim to honor, thank, and celebrate them through this project.
To ensure the success of this important work, all ticket sales and donations from this event will directly support the production. We invite you to be a part of this meaningful journey and help us bring this story to life.
