Àer

One step. And another in the opposite direction. One step. And another in the opposite direction. One step. And... Everyone in line. And everyone holding hands. And everyone making shapes with their bodies. And everyone letting themselves be moved by the air... carried by the “àer.”

This choreography is based on the counter step, although it deconstructs and then reconstructs it. This popular traditional dance only used to be performed by men, while in this show things are more democratic.

The choreographer, dancer and educator Laia Santanach’s career spans over fourteen years and she has been directing her own project since 2014. Many of her montages have won dance awards, including Now, Vaivé and Àer, with which she won the Manresa Mediterranean Fair's Delfí Colomé Award. In 2017, she was also a finalist for the 2017 Theatre Institute Award, with Rèplica.
