Biterna / Lo que no se ve / Minus 16
The young dance company from the Institut del Teatre returns to Dansa Metropolitana with a programme featuring three choreographies in distinctly different styles. The performance opens with Biterna, a piece by Aleix Martínez, premiered in 2024 and created specifically for IT Dansa. It is followed by Lo que no se ve, an intimate creation by Gustavo Ramírez Sansano, conceived in 2021 and focused on the relationship between couples. The programme concludes with Minus 16, a choreography by Ohad Naharin that explores a range of emotional states, from solitary despair to collective joy.
IT Dansa is an educational project by the Institut del Teatre, established in 1996 with the aim of promoting the professional development of young dancers. Since its inception, the company has performed over 400 times on national and international stages, premiered around 40 choreographies, and hosted more than 200 dancers.
