The Valencian company EntreTantos Dansa premieres Elegía at Teatre La Màquina in València, a contemporary dance piece that addresses the loss of a loved one and the passage of time from an intimate and participatory perspective.

The show, which can be seen on Friday, May 1st and Saturday, May 2nd at 8:30 PM, and on Sunday, May 3rd at 7:00 PM, has an ticket price of 13 euros. Directed and choreographed by Jose Lis and Elena Carcedo, the piece is built upon a literary narrative that places the body as the central axis of the story.
Over 75 minutes, Elegía offers an emotional journey where movement becomes the primary language to explore pain, memory, and personal transformation. One of the distinguishing features of this production is the active involvement of the audience in the scenic development.

"The characters build their own destiny with the participation of the attendees, generating a different experience in each performance and breaking the traditional barrier between stage and spectators."

The work invites reflection on what remains when everything changes, addressing grief from a universal dimension and connecting individual experience with a collective one. The cast includes Elena Carcedo, Jose Lis, and Jordi Cubas. The music features compositions by various authors, lighting is by Jordi Cubas, costumes by Dos.Veintiseis, and set design and production by EntreTantos Dansa.
With this proposal, the company continues its line of work focused on the investigation of body language and direct connection with the public, consolidating a trajectory that champions pieces with strong emotional content and contemporary character.
