The Led Silhouette company, awarded the El Ojo Crítico 2024 Prize by RNE, presents Ultimátum, a work that invites the audience to question the present through the dialogue between dance-theater and cinema. Jon López and Martxel Rodríguez, its creators, stand out for their innovative artistic proposal.

Prior to the main performance, the Pérez&Disla company, led by Alberto Escartí and Marina Lamosca, will offer an institutional welcome act. This moment will serve to celebrate the visibility of artistic projects, combining image and poetry to introduce the festival's program and its activities.

Under the theme "Moment of tenderness," the festival aims to be a necessary pause in today's immediacy. Dansa València also promotes the Spanish Dance Platform and energizes the local choreographic sector with the Focus Valencià program, which will take place in the Matilde Salvador hall of La Nau.

In Focus Valencià, companies such as La Repetidora, Eyas Dance Project, Cia. Pla Roig, Eugenia Morera & Alba Elvira, and Mar García & Javi Soler will present their latest creations. The objective is to promote the circulation of these pieces in the Valencian theatrical circuit and other national forums. The inaugural day also includes the live arts proposal Una idea inacabada by the Valencian collective Taller Placer at Espai Inestable.

Innovation will also arrive with the Madrid-based company La Venidera, which will present the complete version of No at La Mutant. This work, with the external perspective of Valencian Marcos Morau, represents an advance in the evolution of contemporary flamenco. To conclude the inaugural proposal, the festival offers the presentation of three educational projects at the Teatre Principal, including the book 20 años de botellón cultural by La Siamesa and El libro de las Alegrias by the publisher La calle baila, an educational tool to bring flamenco closer to all audiences.
