What is the I-IR?

Institute of Interconnected Realities (I—IR) is an artistic project — founded by Ida-Elisabeth Larsen, Marie-Louise Stentebjerg, and Jonathan Bonnici.

We choreograph across theaters, festivals, and museums globally, curate projects with collaborating artists, and produce knowledge through this website.

I—IR is built on Decentralized Choreography — the idea that the choreographic event unfolds in multiple sites simultaneously, none of which is more important than the others.

This informs our thinking on dramaturgy, production, spectatorship, and curation, and guides the research and artworks we develop exploring choreography’s potential.

I—IR is currently directed by Ida-Elisabeth Larsen and Marie-Louise Stentebjerg, with Carlos Calvo as Creative Producer.
