FROM THURSDAY 17 ON SUNDAY 20/9
SWEDISH (the Ribera Baixa)
The International Exhibition of Mim de Sueca announces two premieres and twenty companies that combine dance, circus and physical and puppet theater under the slogan "The accomplice gaze". many artists, despite being wonderful, they are recurrent on Valencian stages and do not provide that extra incentive of being able to see a show that only the MIM could bring us. We talk about Javier Aranda, which pays tribute to the profession of puppeteer with Haeta [18-19]; of Swing Theater, what ha ha 2024 he introduced us to the TEM Forever [18-19] to demonstrate why this piece about incommunicado within a normal family has two MAX awards, or of strawberry, company of the land that premiered Dominate [18-19] in the last edition of Dance Valencia. They are also common The Last Touch o Merce Store, but in this case they bring the two absolute premieres of the sample. The Valencian company has started nostalgia [17-20], a social inclusion project around grandparents, i Store presents The tenant [17], announcing that the time to be quiet has run out.
One of the big bets this year is the Catalan company Zero in Conduct. First we can see La Phazz [17], which speaks of fear and the power of imagination, joining bodily mime, dance, puppets and physical theater. And a few days later, Brigitte's last dance [19], where an old dancer confined to a wheelchair makes her memories dance. The second great piece of this 36th edition is Suspension [18-19], of Nineone Circus, where five men throw knives at their own shadows and balls in the air that achieve a moment of suspension. But there is much more: Sodade [19], of the french Midnight Company, an incredible proposal of tightrope walking, lenta i elegant; Evidence [19-20], of Manel Roses, a spectacular circus solo with scale that won the FETEN award 2025 to the best show; and the hilarious ones hole [18], of Dudu Arnalot i Swing [18-19], dels swissos Wave, which begin by promising an epic fight, but which end up turning everything into a succession of misunderstandings, traps, impossible stunts, steeped in physical and intelligent humour. S.M.
