The company Mal Pelo, founded by Maria Muñoz and Pep Ramis and recognized with the National Dance Award 2002, will be in charge of closing the festival this April 19 at the Teatre Principal with their work We. Nosaltres i els temps. The performance is inspired by John Berger's poem Separation to delve into the journey, emigration, and loss of place, exploring community and the basic principle of movement: walking.
The autonomous secretary of Culture, Marta Alonso, will attend the closing ceremony at the Teatre Principal. Additionally, during the morning, audiences can see the shows Gush is Great by Production Xx at the Centre del Carme and Oroimen by Akira Yoshida at the Plaza del Mercado.
The Centre del Carme Cultura Contemporània (CCCC) hosts Gush is Great, a proposal by the French company Production Xx. This hypnotic experience, performed by five young people, is an ode to sweet rebellion and the need for reinvention. The international production programmed in this edition of Dansa València offers a sensory experience that blends raw poetry and contemporary tensions, where slowness becomes an act of resistance.
The closing day is completed with two proposals that explore the construction of the 'self' from different perspectives. At the Teatre Rialto, the Canary Islander Paula Quintana presents her dance solo Atlas de anatomía, which combines Afro-Latin influences, Andalusian heritage, and the European present. The piece delves into identity and champions the periphery from the creator's islander condition, accompanied by a live choir.
Finally, in the Plaza del Mercado, public space takes center stage with Oroimen by Akira Yoshida. This dancer, trained in 'breaking' and contemporary dance, proposes a scenic reflection on identity. The work features a character who, after losing touch with reality, seeks only to be understood on a commemorative journey through the memory of lived actions.
