Territori Dansa

An entire day devoted to dance that will play out in spaces around the square in front of the sports centre in the Centre neighbourhood of Hospitalet de Llobregat, including the Jardí de Can Sumarro and the courtyard of the Museu d’Història. Strikingly different urban landscapes: from an asphalted square to the garden lawns, historical buildings and a park full of trees and soil. A non-stop programme of extraordinary free shows that offer quite different perspectives on dance. A combination of productions from professional companies of all different styles alongside displays of work done by city schools.

Blanc Borrombori [White tumult]
Ca La Vidala
15 minutes

Blanc Borrombori is the silence and the pause before ideas, emotions and the beauty of movement burst forth. It is the inevitable and necessary space for creation. It is the rest before the fertility of invention. It is the silence and internal tempo before the thunder of genius, the tumult of creativity.

Hem de parlar [We need to talk]
The Vero Cendoya Company
20 minutes

A woman, a man and a teenager make up the family in Hem de parlar, a snapshot that conjures up phrases that dance, letters that move and arrange themselves, movements that intertwine and silences that express more than words ever can. Emotions that transform and open up new worlds.

A journey from the origin of everything. Music, movement, dance, human relationships...
ORIGEN, by Chris Solé and Jhennelyn Pera, will take us on a journey from our African origins to today's musical and dance influences, with a personal context that focuses on personal and human relationships. Learning from the past, living in the present and looking towards the future.

Stands
Los Perros [The dogs]
Led Silhouette + Marcos Morau
30 minutes

Contemporaneity hits the most vulnerable the hardest, marginalising the misfits who are torn between rebellion and submission. The need for others, for empathy, for love emerges as an urgent remedy. Los Perros proposes a state of resistance, like dogs that find each other, share joy and pain, fall down and get back up again, dance and rebel through love to find the meaning of their lives.

UPPER Vol. 1
Sebastián García Ferro Company
35 minutes

Everyone get sweating! A DJ, a table and three dance goddesses. You can watch them dancing on the podiums until they decide to come down from Olympus and allow us mere mortals to share the dance floor with them. This is a site-specific event modelled on those old aerobics classes, with all their typical features and clichés. Be a part of it and you will end up starring in a choreography that will gradually turn into a party in itself.
