An expressive solo performance by a distinguished figure in Spanish dance
Daniel Abreu, a renowned choreographer and performer, is a prominent figure in the Spanish dance scene. We are excited to present his work for the first time in Slovakia.
His evocative and artistically compelling solo, El hijo (Son), explores the special bonds with parents and places of the past, and the struggle to come to terms with them. Through dance, he conveys his experiences of the culture and environment around him, creating metaphor-rich imagery that narrates the story of existence within the broader context of life’s and nature’s cycles. His performance is both energetic and expressive.
A mesmerizing dance by a group of women on the edge of dream and reality
The choreographer Marcos Morau creates a captivating and magical atmosphere with the power of movement, word, music and artistic elements. In scenic form, religion, folklore and mysticism intertwine here.
Sonoma is inspired by Luis Buñuel’s surrealism. It is a cry of a man who tries to survive at the limit of his existence. Sonoma balances dream, fiction and reality. A group of women want to free themselves from the ties of the past, and cross boundaries using their intuition and instinct.
The inner weeping that women share gradually grows stronger as it transforms into a celebration ritual with sacrifices, hypnotic songs, and dances. This state liberates their minds, but at the same time reminds them of their transience.
An exhilarating journey through the enigmatic realms of Spanish folklore
The young generation of female artists in Para cuatro jinetes (For four riders) refers to folklore, which is still dominant in the country´s culture, but transforms it into a form of contemporary performance, charged with energy. For the creators, folklore is a mysterious and confusing place full of legends, ceremonies, feasts and dances created in the past.
Para cuatro jinetes is a work that speaks of a body capable of holding back time. A body that is both a rider and a horse, a body that knows how to humbly ride the fictions of our past, present and future, and gives us a chance to understand better who we are and what we do.
