What are our roots? And our culture? A vibrant, fascinating piece by four young Andalusian dancers who combine flamenco and urban dance to ask themselves: “Who are we?” A question they felt the need to ask outside of their homeland in order to explore the origin of their artistic interests. This piece is the result of the originality and conviction with which they fuse flamenco rhythms and hip-hop, uniting flamenco tradition and African culture through music.
Premohs Collective is an Andalusian dance collective created in 2016 and made up of the dancers Paloma Ramos, Isaac Suárez, Antonio León and Marta Reguera. Since then, it has participated in various festivals and artistic residencies such as the Centro Coreográfico de la Gomera and the Mediterranean Dance Center, among others. It also won first prize in the urban dance category of the Burgos New York choreography contest.

Choreographer and dancer Nadine Gerspacher creates a poetic and dreamlike universe where 14 people enact the process of transformation after death. A show full of images and a sense of togetherness that invites the audience to embark on a mysterious journey. What lies on the other side? What awaits us in paradise? Is it really better than what we have here on Earth? A work that invites us to see the heaven that is right here under our feet.

Nadine Gerspacher and Nico Ricchini join forces to offer 15 dancers the opportunity to work with international and local choreographers. With this year's fifth edition, FREE BODIES has managed to position itself among the most outstanding young companies in Europe.
