LED SILHOUETTE presents HALLEY

Rodríguez and Jon López have used the symbolism of Halley’s Comet to create a work that speaks of both time and human existence.

A thread unites everything. Halley is a contemporary epic, a desperate race of a group facing the challenge of having to organise before the comet passes again and everything starts anew. Characters who carry burdens, who have a path to travel and yearn to overcome the setbacks and mistakes that separate them from happiness. Halley is also doubt and search, the attempt to always find an answer and provide solutions to all questions. It wants to be that breath in a moment of anguish, an expression of the sensitivity that allows us to understand the present and foresee the future.

PEOPLE WATCHING COLLECTIVE presents PLAY DEAD

People Watching presents their latest show, Play Dead, for the first time in Spain. Play Dead unfolds a series of interconnected stories set in a domestic universe where the different facets of human behavior are observed. Through its physical dynamism and visual storytelling, the work proposes a surreal chronicle of the familiar. Far from settling into a boring fatalism, Play Dead marvels at the absurdity of the mundane and celebrates life with a throbbing desire for connection and intimacy, just as people dance desperately to the last song before the party ends. It is worth noting that they have the support and supervision of Les 7 Doigts, an internationally renowned artistic collective.

BARO D’EVEL presents MAZÙT

At times, the world moves too quickly, there are too many words, too many speeches. When humanity overwhelms us, the only possible escape is the search for instinct, our inner animal. To return to simplicity, the essence of the human being. Welcome to the poetic and sensory world of Mazùt.

Ten years since its premiere, Baro d’evel recovers Mazùt, an emblem of the turn it represented in the artistic language of the company, and which precisely means: “change”, in Greek and Russian.

ANNA MATEU CIA. presents ARRÒS

Arròs tells us about all the factors that are causing the Valencian Albufera wetlands to disappear. The piece is constructed through an acrobatic choreography inspired by the shapes and movements of nature (the ascending and cyclical growth of seeds, for example), and at the same time, themes such as local customs and tradition linked to the cultivation of rice and the sustainability of the Valencian natural environment are combined.

ABDERZAK HOUMI & CIE. X-PRESS presents Y’A PLUS D’SAISONS

“There are no more seasons” because the world is changing… What will we leave behind? “Y’a plus d’saisons” evokes the world we live in and questions the future in the face of the social and ecological conflicts caused by human beings. On stage, hip hop, contemporary dance and acrobatics parade the seasons, mixing them together; the bodies of the six performers of the piece seek balance between heaven and earth.

This unstable ground, on which choreographer Abderzak Houmi works, supports the often disturbing interactions between nature, time and humans. On stage, powerful and visual paintings based on Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, which seem to merge into one, embrace this evocative dance.
