Kintsugi: The aesthetics of imperfection

Kintsugi is a Japanese technique for repairing objects that dates back to the 15th century and a philosophy that considers cracks and repairs to be part of an object’s history and beauty, and not something to be hidden. Interested in new languages and the limits of movement, the Iron Skulls Co company immerses itself, through dance, in a search for the relationship between technique, beauty and imperfection.

Made up of dancers from all over Spain, this Barcelona collective is famous for its particular style, which continually attempts to explore the limits of movement, blending together various disciplines such as break-dance, hip-hop, contemporary dance, acrobatics and the martial arts.
