Dansa València should have been held in March with the appropriate pomp, but the Coronavirus arrived and took everything away, including this festival that we recovered in November focused on highlighting the territorial singularities of the Spanish state in relation to dance. We begin the review of the programming with the absolute premiere of the Institut Valencià de Cultura's own production with Asun Noales at the helm, Death and the Maiden [18-29/11], which choreographs the music of Franz Schubert's String Quartet No. 14 in D minor. The Noales company, Another dance, also participates in the festival with the work The force of death [11] along with other Valencian groups such as Fil d'Arena, who questions the idea of migration in an overpopulated and constantly moving world in his work Split [12], Dunatacà, who does contemporary dance with the concerns, opinions and wishes of older people in You [12] o, one more year, La Veronal by Marcos Morau, presenting this time Fukuoka [10].
We jump to Madrid to discover the new creation of the Israeli Sharon Fridman, dose of paradise [15], an exploration of love and relationships in dialogue with new technologies and Peep Box 350º [13] de Mey – Ling Need, inspired by young people from countries in conflict who come together to challenge the established power. And from the center to the periphery, to Andalusia, where does La Pármaco come from to present domestication [10], the first chapter of the trilogy Rechristened / Christians that reflects on compassion as a human need, social trauma and collective failure. The Galician Janet Novás dances Mercedes plus me [14], a piece made in collaboration with the composer Mercedes Peón, and choreographer Jon Maya, in Soliloquies, proposes a reinterpretation of the preview in museum spaces [15]. We get flamenco with Manuel Liñán, that breaks gender patterns in ¡Viva! [12] and with Olaga Pericet, reviewing the figure of Carmen Amaya, one of the greatest flamenco dancers in history, in an infinite body [14]. There will also be a lot of dancing in the street, Patriarca Square will be the scene of urban proposals such as Young blood, we see you [15], that claims energy, the creativity and involvement of new generations using hip hop culture. In November, dance of all styles and all sides. AU
