After performing the Bach show around the world, Mal Pelo continues its quest for a deep and dynamic language between dance and music, allowing to talk with J.S. Bach's work. Bach Project is the umbrella that will host a multifocal three-year view on the movement and work of the German composer, from the study of the baroque music and the relationship with movement, space and choreographic drama. The first proposal of this project is titled On Goldberg Variations / Variations and is a creation by the Franco-American musician Dan Tepfer.
Block is a powerful fusion of dance and circus, two disciplines that challenge the boundaries of the human body. It’s a physical, intense and exciting proposal that plays with movement and acrobatics to talk about life in the city, its contradictions and daily challenges. Twenty big blocks break down and are recomposed on stage, adopting new shapes among which performers move around. An amazing spectacle, arisen from the collaboration between two British high-flying companies.
Acoustic, choreographic and visual experience performed by a dancer who is also a DJ. Amaranta Velarde plays live while she dances, accompanied by the visual pieces generated in real time by the artist and creative technologist Alba G. Corral. The proposal takes a journey that experiences with the superposition of styles and artistic principles, from Erik Satie to Pina Bausch and the futurists, Mary Wigman, William Forsythe, Kraftwerk or Stravinsky, icons of music, dance and visual arts, mixed at the sound table and on stage.
Can we identify any kind of sound? How long does the impact of sound last? How does it resonate in our bodies? How fast does it affect us? In the last years, Anna Fontanet has investigated over frequencies, sound bodies and movement, with the aim of generating sound landscapes that would constantly transform gesture. The frequencies generated by the computer, the noises of household appliances, the brakes of a vehicle, the tic-tac of a clock or the harmonic chants, are a set of resources to generate sound compositions and analysis for movement proposals.
The first production of Maria Rovira's new company, Crea Dance Company, is a challenge: a version of Carmina Burana's famous Carl Orff with more than a hundred artists on stage - including dancers, musicians and a choir formed from chorals from different metropolitan cities. A bet for the spectacular as well as for the sensitivity and alternation of emotions that concur in Orff’s music score.
Classical and contemporary dance embrace this Carmina Burana, a song to life, an exaltation of the senses.
In his new creation, Albert Quesada fuses the world of flamenco to take stereotypes further from a contemporary perspective. Flamenco serves as a mirror for Quesada and inspire him as a way of understanding folk singing, music and dance as they have developed through so many cultures and regions. The trip will begin in our own bodies, in our individual story as dancers, in what we have been trained, what makes us passionate about and in what ways we can share it. What is our own flamenco? Adds the choreographer.
The flamenco language of Leonor Leal, the contemporary look of Víctor Zambrana and the artistic universe of Joaquín Jara go hand in hand with a street piece about the female body that, like a tree, sinks its roots to the firm ground and rises to the sky, connecting the earthy with the divine.
La mujer habitada is a trip to the inner female identity, to show her a the force of creation.
