Soft Zone & Mechanical Ballet: Two Distinct Works

Two contemporary performance works explore the body as a site of perception, control and resistance through an immersive double bill at Little River Performance Space.

Soft Zone & Mechanical Ballet: Two Distinct Works takes place March 20 and 21, with each evening presenting both pieces in a shared program. Directed by Carla Forte, Soft Zone examines vulnerability and sensory experience through movement and visual language, while Alexey Taran’s Mechanical Ballet engages with systems of structure and control through precise, physical composition.

Presented as part of Miami-Dade County Auditorium’s Away From Home Series, the program brings the independently created works into dialogue, using choreography, sound and staging to reflect on contemporary power dynamics and the tension between fragility and discipline. The performances unfold in a black box setting with limited seating, emphasizing proximity and immersion.
