Cloenda a Badalona

After getting the boys and girls to take part in a collective dance, Badalona says farewell to the 2019 edition of Dansa Metropolitana, as do the other cities, with Tothom balla (Everybody Dance!) and a display by local associations and schools. On 30 March, every city dances!

A free and challenging interpretation of La consagració de la primavera and a masterpiece of Igor Stravinsky, a complex dramatic and choreographic play. Sacre dismantles the movements of the Cuban salsa and reconstructs them into a piece for five dancers, two women and three men, merged into a rhythmic, warm and evocative dance. In this Sacre by Emanuel Gat - a review of the homonymous piece that Gat himself created in 2004 - there is no sacrifice, as it happened to Stravinsky's original ballet, but an air of ceremony, of ritual, absolutely captivating.

2017 Moritz FiraTàrrega Award for the Best Street Arts Performance, Conseqüències is a show for all audiences that explores, through the movement, the relationships between reality and fiction in our everyday life and fast-paced time we live in. An ironic and joyful work about the possibility of being displaced, outdated, late... and about its resulting consequences.

The ‘guiri’ figure, a typical tourist one may find at the seafront, dressed in bermuda shorts, with socks and sandals and with the camera hanging from the neck, is usually the target of our mockery. But what happens when we are the ‘guiri’ ones? When we travel abroad and unwittingly reproduce the cliché that makes us laugh so much? How do people from other countries see us? These are questions raised by this proposal, plus lots of energy and sense of humor.

Once again, Dansa Metropolitana and the Public Transport Network of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona collaborate to make the underground trips an artistic and stimulating experience. The HOP has designed a multidisciplinary intervention, a fusion of urban, African dances, circus and contemporary dance, to transform the monotony of the trip and to fill it with joy and complicity. A lot of dancers and two musicians will be interacting with an avant-garde DJ who is also able to dance. Everything is possible at this party about to start!

Not only subway stations, but also those of trains and buses and, above all, the local squares, will host an interactive dance proposal that will transform the waiting in the station into a high-speed show. Camut Band, masters of tap dance, present in Esplugues, Sant Cugat and Viladecans Ballant damunt de tambors (Dancing on drums), a proposal with four tap dancers and two percussionists, with an end party that will feature the participation of all the artists and will make more than one traveler dance.

Simple and double knots, loose or strong, sailor’s, made of clothing or of hair. Joining knots and stifling knots... Through dance, the Andalusian company Da Te Danza questions over the knots we tie and untie through life, on the wounds which may or maynot close when we leave childhood to enter the adult world. A show of delicate atmosphere that will make young and adult think (and dream).

In Molsa dance, puppets and videoprojection combine together to tell children an emotional and tender story, a delicate tale about friendship. The protagonist, Goss Moss, relentlessly looks for her friend Janinka after the war has separated them. None of the obstacles that will happen to him in the process will make him give up and so Moss is prepared to run all the adventures in order to meet the girl again.

Honest, poetic, imaginative, fun. This is Almazuela, a show for the first childhood that arouses the curiosity of the youngest public. A series of scenes taken from the world of dreams, a world of colors where there are cheerful flowering tree branches, a playful fence, cakes with buttons and casseroles that walk tiptoe. As, under the sheets, there hide fantastic stories that can only be seen when the night falls and the children fall asleep...

Quadres d’una exposició is a famous suite of fifteen pieces composed by Mússorgski to pay homage to Viktor Hartmann, architect, cartoonist and amateur painter, and intimate friend of the composer. The score is inspired by the posthumous exhibition of the works of Hartmann at the Imperial Academy of Arts of Saint Petersburg.
