Who are we?
La Multiverse is a performing arts company based in Bogota, Colombia, founded in 2019. It is directed by choreographer Angélica Roa and supported by a group of interdisciplinary artists, including music composer Nicolás Soto and dancer and cultural manager Ana Melissa Caballero.

Its work focuses on the research and articulation of these languages, generating innovative projects that expand the possibilities of performing arts and foster dialogue between different artistic and knowledge disciplines.
Nowadays, the company boasts a repertoire of five stage works and four video dances, including the Cinedanza Kosmocorporea presented in movie theaters. In addition, the company has won five creative grants, including Bogotá's most prestigious grant for large-format multidisciplinary creation, awarded for the work Bryophyllum in 2022.
