Eight dies, twelve spaces and thirty-three companies to claim that the genre of dance, as a minor, he has nothing. They will be 16 Valencian groups, 15 national and two international ones which according to the artistic director of Dansa Valencia, María José Mora, will search for a personal and collective identity through dance in this “accelerated decade, globalized and damaged by the recent pandemic, the hatred poured into the Internet and the war on the margins of Europe”. The Russian invasion of Ukraine will resonate in pieces that invoke war and peace at the opening and closing of the festival at the Main Theater. Antonio Ruz will open with the anti-war song Pharsalia [19] which invokes the healing of wounds after tragedy, while the company Humanhood will delve deeper into pain relief with a titled meditation experience ∞ {Infinite} [23]. they say Led Silhouette and the Alcoian Marcos Morau that contemporaneity whips the most vulnerable, that's why with The dogs [23] they seek a state of endurance where these animals share joy and pain, they dance and rebel through love. And another important name, the one of Daniel Abreu, that presents The valley [20] to the Musical Theater.
The absolute premieres will be Olive tree road [19] on the dancer Rosa Sanz it is inspired by Mediterranean olive groves, whirlpool [21] on Pepa Cases combines brutality and poetics to awaken in society the certainty of change, and work in progress to the Central Park of the center KVS from Brussels [23] i Laimperfecta putting traditional dances in relation with the act of dancing to electronic music in Sudar folklore [22]. Folklore is precisely an element that gains weight in the world of dance, as it does in music (Rodrigo Cuevas, Caliphate 3/4…), and this is reflected in this program that includes Portuguese research Marco da Silva Ferreira, Housing [21], around the community, the construction of collective identity and cultural crystallization; or the Brazilian Natalia Fernandes, who looks at his country with Carnival is not happy [19]. Arcas Light will present Mariana [19], the name of the goat that accompanies the wandering gypsy, i Lots of girl it approaches legends, rite, parties and dances in For four riders [20]. New technologies will have their role in Aclucalls [22] where Catalan collective SADCUM explores the virtuality of bodies in post-Internet society, and the feminist perspective hovers over works like Black gold of Poliana Lima [20], Sexy suggestion of Paula Serrano [21] i Meohadim of Jacob Gómez [19], that already went through Circuito Bucles last year. There's a lot more dancing, street lot, check out the full schedule on the web < dv.ivc.gva.es/es>. S.M.
