RUDA / Ayelen Parolin has been an associate artist at the Théâtre National Wallonie-Bruxelles since 2022, at the Coursive Scène Nationale de la Rochelle since 2025, and at Mille Plateaux –CCN La Rochelle, with the support of the Ministry of Culture, from 2026 to 2028.

A work of pure energy, Irresistible Revolution is the latest piece by Belgian choreographer Ayelen Parolin, who is of Argentine origin, and which was met with extraordinary success with both audiences and critics at its recent debut in Brussels.
Drawing inspiration from the exuberance of the Buenos Aires carnival and the festive parade she took part in as a child, Parolin shapes musical genres such as murga and cumbia to create a whirlwind of untamed movements. And she sets the stage ablaze with an exhilarating choreography that blends influences drawn from the liberating rebellion of joyful crowds with dazzling bursts of energy.
That memory of Buenos Aires left a deep impression on her, and murga, cumbia, carnival, celebration, and festive dances have continued to fuel her imagination and her choreographic work. But never more so than here, where she has brought together twelve formidable dancers, engaged in untamed gestures, collective impulses, and popular references, daring to create a choreographic ode to the act of being together, as in so many festive and joyful dances. Enveloped in evocative lighting, the celebration conceived by Ayelen Parolin fills every inch of the stage: with broad, fluid movements, the bodies interact and influence one another, oscillating between euphoria and tension, between abandon and order, where apparent chaos gives way to a precise choreography in which joy becomes a liberating force of extraordinary intensity.
