In 2020, Michael Kliën launched the pioneering Laboratory for Social Choreography at the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University (NC, USA), which serves as the home for his expanded choreographic research. In Europe, he continues his affiliation with the Greek non-profit R.I.C.E. Kliën premiered his seminal work The Utopians (with Ensemble En Dynamei) at the Athens Epidaurus Festival, and created the social choreographic symposium 11th Organ, produced by Duke Arts. He is currently completing his long-standing series of social choreographic works—Parliament, Amendment, Constitution, and Inauguration — over a decade in the making. In June 2025, a major exhibition of his seminal work Parliament opened at the Benaki Museum, Athens.
