Continuation of Brut, a piece of work premiered in 2016 in Barcelona, ​​Amaro wants to highlight the falseness of appearances. Nothing is what it seems, the show tells us, everything changes and, therefore, everything is in constant transformation. Here lies the movement, life. Raquel Gualtero has been accompanied by artists such as Sònia Gómez, Rodrigo Rammsy, Amaranta Velarde, Pere Jou and Txiqui Berraondo to shape their choreographic research.

IT Dance takes part once again in Dansa Metropolitana with a friendly and agile program, with an up-to-date language use, that the young company directed by Catherine Allard interprets with energy and enthusiasm. The program opens with two choreographies premiered at the Greek 2018, Kaash, by Akram Khan - a piece that requires great technique, rigor, precision and physical power - and The Prom, by Lorena Nogal, a very theatrical creation that talks about the uncertainties of youth with touches of humor, longing and fragility.

Ephimera wants to put faces to people who live in the street, people who we bumped into daily without nearly realizing their presence, without being interested in their reality. The show emerges from the concern of two creators, a choreographer and a plastic artist, who understand art as a motor of social change and as a tool to open our minds, and so respect the different and show solidarity with the more disadvantaged. Ephimera is a meeting between two arts, contemporary dance and drawing, a body that draws the space, a pencil that dances on paper.

It’s a humorous reflection on the stereotypes in the gym, the obsession with the image, the idealization of the aesthetics and the servitude of the body. GIVE ME PROTEIN talks about a society of the social networks, a display of fictitious lives, fake happiness, trivializing relationships and the need for acceptance. What will remain of us when we are no longer there? Protein Powder?

A dancer comes to the scene with the intention of interpreting a solo, but a small notebook that he fails to open will be altering his plans. The public's complicity will be essential to overcome the notebook’s resistance and start dancing a txa-txa-txa with contemporary dance touches and a good dose of humor. A cool and fun performance that talks about physical memory, the dance of the past and the present, of memories and experiences that influence movement.

The narrow line that separates the obsession with exposing ourselves to others and our desire for privacy, between what we show and what we hide, is the object of analysis in this brief but intense, subtle piece as well as physical. Billie Jean talks about empty words, protective silence, masks and hidden truths.

Body, matter, time, space and relationships are the key concepts of this human installation: one hundred and twenty body structures in which the interpreters are both builders and materials. Ephemeral architectures that emerge from a precise mathematical protocol based on random and symmetrical operations, and which are the result of the traction and compression efforts of the participating bodies. A coral balance.

In Nereidas and Nereo (drowning) we become witnesses of a tragedy: some bodies try to resist, to survive in the middle of a world where they have no place. Devious, disorganized, they try to overcome the sad contemporary condition of being alienated, unarmed, of being like fish out of water. The public, faced with this dancing critique, will face this demand for empathy, solidarity and collective power.

In his debut at the street theater, the veteran company ZUM-ZUM Teatre has partnered with Quim Bigas, a multidisciplinary artist, creator of new formats and languages ​​for dance; And from this alliance, Hippos has come out, a family spectacle that shoots against appearances and stereotypes imposed by society. Three hippos dance, laugh, interact with people and invite you to participate in their games. However, beyond the fun, there’s a message hidden, the respect for difference. Would you like to join them?

2018 Award Moritz FiraTàrrega for best street performance.

What idea of ​​progress is actually being imposed on us? What artificial world are we being pushed to? These are two questions posed by the Pasionaria, a critical view of a future where individualism and moral cowardice will be rising values. The Veronal places us in a society where human beings will live with androids with human form but lacking in humanity and from such coexistence, neat and aseptic communities will emerge, without joy, pain or passion.
