We all need a guide. Something to follow and admire. Something (or someone) who provides us with a path and gives us a direction, whether or not it is correct. For want of leadership, we feel lost, stumbling with every step we take. But it is during this time, when we fall, that things start to become clear and we find “something”.
Something that could be very simple but which we long for… And this piece takes us back to that, to the simplicity of the abstract, where movement is our strength.
A meeting between museum space and dance. This is the starting point for Soliloquios, a project created by dancer and choreographer Jon Maya, which focuses on an interpretation of aurresku, a traditional Basque dance. Maya invites each dancer to make an individual interpretation of this ceremonial dance. The three approaches to art converge in a single space, accompanied by Luis Miguel Cobo’s sound installation.
Saturday, 14 March, from 11.30am to 2pm. Free shows for all audiences.
This year we've put together a very special opening ceremony for you, a travelling route close to the sea. You can enjoy a selection of proposals that range from performance to aerial dance, not to mention tap-dancing and flamenco as well as contemporary, urban and traditional dancing. The itinerary was commissioned by the team at the Barceloneta Civic Centre, a venue that has been committed to dance for many years.
An entire day devoted to dance that will occupy spaces and corners around the square at the Sports Centre in Hospitalet de Llobregat. A space that contains quite different urban landscapes: from an asphalted square to the garden lawns, historical buildings and a park full of trees and soil.
Music, audio-visuals, live movement and spoken word combine in this talk-show that aims to explain urban dances in all their dimensions. It offers a dynamic and accessible discussion for every kind of audience, an enriching experience for experts and for anyone keen to find out about urban dance.
If you go up to the highest point, you can observe from another perspective. And afterwards go down to the roots, set on confronting your fears. The Nouvas company uses this unique show to explore the connection between individuals and speaks out to the community.
One step. And another in the opposite direction. One step. And another in the opposite direction. One step. And... Everyone in line. And everyone holding hands. And everyone making shapes with their bodies. And everyone letting themselves be moved by the air... carried by the “àer.”
This choreography is based on the counter step, although it deconstructs and then reconstructs it. This popular traditional dance only used to be performed by men, while in this show things are more democratic.
