MUSIC:  ED IS DEAD

Three baroque characters that symbolize an ecosystem of fluctuating equilibrium.

equilibrium. Insects, flowers, amphibians, fish and a whole amalgam of creatures come to life through the precision and detail of their movements, where reality and fantasy converge in a peculiar "garden of delights".

Flowerheads is a contemporary dance piece that exudes the pleasure of the ephemeral and the fragility of ecosystems. The music, an original creation by Ed is Dead, emphasizes its dreamlike character by generating electronic sound environments that commune with nature.

DRAUMA   |    PAULINA ESPINOSA AND MARIANA OLIVEIRA (PORTUGAL / MEXICO)

PERFORMERS: PAULINA ESPINOSA AND MARIANA OLIVEIRA

We are a world of characters impacted by a series of traumas, traumas that have scarred us since childhood. In Drauma (from Trauma to Drama) we explore the four responses to trauma: fight, flee, freeze and fawn, in the form of a fun and emotional but no less dramatic journey through the experiential memories of two characters with equally different but similar cultural contexts, placing the viewer in a musically friendly landscape, sometimes funny and that only once the piece is over will make them reflect on their own experiences with trauma.

PAN Y ROSAS   |   TINA MARTÍ (SPAIN)

PERFORMERS: PALOMA RAMOS, ÁMBAAR MURGIA, ESTHER CALDERÓN AND TINA MARTÍ

MUSIC: OWN, CREATED BY CRISTINA LÓPEZ

"PAN Y ROSAS" is a struggle for the right to live, not simply to exist. "We want bread and roses too" advocates for rejecting a life limited and forced to mere subsistence. The project "Bread and roses" emerged in 2021 in the form of a video dance, as a proposal to investigate a possible harmony between urban, contemporary dances and flamenco. Two years later, we decided to take this proposal to the stage to deepen the space where different movements from the four PERFORMERS converge with the musical language of Cristina López.
