Wild / Otempodiz / Cada cop més aprop

"Wild", Motion House

What does “being wild” mean? WILD, the bold dance and circus production from Motionhouse, explores our disconnection from the natural environment, posing the question of whether, in our modern lives, nature continues to influence our behaviour. An excellent show, where we see the creation of an urban forest in the day-to-day life of the city. With Motionhouse’s characteristic physical power, the performers use dynamic choreography, acrobatic movement and body-to-body association to move through a forest of tall poles.

Founded in 1988 by Louise Richards and Kevin Finnan MBE, Motionhouse is one of the world's great touring dance companies. From long-running productions to theatre tours, to performances on open-air stages and at large-scale events, their acclaimed productions involve athletic physiques, a strong narrative, incredible digital imagery and emotive sound scores.

"OTEMPODIZ", ERTZA

In the West, time is measured, bought, sold, planned and organised... but there is almost never enough of it. By contrast, in Africa time is experienced, it is something you have, something you do, an asset that is almost never lacking. Otempodiz is the result of an exchange and creation project between Euskadi and Mozambique, which shows the power of dance for experiencing time in an absolute present.

ERTZA was created in 2004, directed by the dancer and choreographer Asier Zabaleta, with the aim of opening up a new space for choreographic creation, without ties or conventionalisms, creating projects in collaboration with artists from other disciplines. Their productions pose questions about human and social contradictions, inviting the audience to reflect on current themes. ERTZA has presented its productions in the following countries: China, the Philippines, Brazil, Peru, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Mexico, Israel, Russia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, Greece, Poland, Mozambique, Portugal and Spain.

"Cada cop més aprop" Area, Espai de Dansa i Creació and Institut del Teatre with Toni Mira

The choreographer Toni Mira presents us with a small choreographic action, specially designed for this space, performed by students from Area, Espai de Dansa i Creació and Institut del Teatre de Barcelona.

The machines are gone, their rhythm still beats in silence, we will fill with small bodies the great space they have left.
