HEM DE PARLAR / Young Blood

"HEM DE PARLAR", Cia. Vero Cendoya

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. An inclusive dance-theatre street performance that is the result of Vero Cendoya’s extensive experience of working with people with functional diversity. Emotions that transform and open up new world.

Vero Cendoya combines performing with choreography and painting. She has worked with Catalan and Spanish creators such as Sol Picó, Àngels Margarit, Peter Mika and Andrés Lima as well as with international artists and companies like the Inbal Pinto Dance Company (Israel), Hans Werner Klohe, Steptext DA.CO (Germany), Le Boussinière (Switzerland) and Veronika Riz (Italy). In 2008 she created her own company, which stands out for having collaborated with artists from different disciplines such as drama, painting, drag, music, poetry and even football.

"Young Blood", Cia. Arnau Pérez

Through contemporary dance, influenced by the protest language of urban dance, this small-scale dance format cries out for the regenerative power of the new generations. Three dancers, three “young bloods” challenging the audience. “Young blood, we see you.” They’re prepared, but... are you?

Arnau Pérez is a Catalan choreographer and dancer and currently directs, from Madrid, the company that bears his name. As a choreographer, he has worked on creations in companies such as Company E, in Washington, and the Jove Companyia Gerard Collins, in Valencia. He’s also been awarded the Best Choreography Prize at Masdanza and the Internationales Solo-Tanz Festivaal Stuttgart, and the People's Choice Award, Youth Jury Award and Excellent Dancer Award at the Certamen Coreográfico de Madrid.
