“BAUNSBAK” by Elvi Balboa 
BAUNSBAK is a physical journey between exaltation and collapse, between the momentum of movement and the quest for balance. With jumping boots on their feet, each rebound intensifies and the floor becomes a living resonator. The sound, captured and transformed in real time, creates a vibrant landscape where the dance is seen, heard and felt. Between impetus and fatigue, the piece pushes the body to its limits, exploring rebound as both a physical action and a metaphor for recovery. 
Elvi Balboa develops work in which the body is treated as a critical, multisensory terrain. In dialogue with electronic music, light and technology, movement is situated within a universe that questions identity, collectivity and environment. This inquiry is manifested in works such as AM I WHAT?, ANÖA and BAUNSBAK, creations that expand bodily possibilities and offer immersive experiences on transformation and belonging. 

 “MANIFESTO” by Àngel Duran
A quintet of bodies summons the spirit of subcultures and transforms a public space into a stage for collective fervour. In this ephemeral celebration, bodies intertwine in a ritual of escape and resistance. MANIFESTO is a monument to rebellion, a tribute to those who found refuge in the intensity of the moment. This piece is a site-specific excerpt from the stage work MONUMENT, winner of the 2025 Butaca Award for Best Choreography.
