It is often compared to the extinct VEO festival, But the 10 Sentidos has its own entity that year after year amasses quality without leaving aside risk.. Because within the living arts there is a very wide range of scenic proposals., plastic, audiovisual and literary works capable of stirring the entrails, and the directors of this festival, Meritxell Barberá and Inma García, They are always willing to try. “Beasts” is the motto of this eighth edition that reflects on the violence that surrounds us, For example, through a show-installation called male man [12-19/5] with which Alex Rigola deals with sexist violence. This is the festival's own production, but there is much more. The dance, like a good spoiled girl of the event, it's a piece of shit: the canadian dancer Louise Lecavalier, that revolutionized dance in the years 80 within the company La La La Human Steps, performs for the first time in Valencia to present So blue [5/5]. The French Phia Menard trae Vortex [8-9/5], a performance for adults about the transformation of air; the belgian company last time encourages direct public participation in a bare space in Sant Miquel dels Reis as part of the work Go figure out yourself [10/5]; and the hungarian Budapest Dance Theatre, one of the largest and most influential contemporary dance companies in Eastern Europe, will show us his Boundless [19/5]. It will all start with the group's underwater concert Aquasonic [2/5] —for the first time in Spain— and will continue in the air-raid shelter of the town hall with the work with which Mario Benedetti reunited with the theater. Pedro and the captain [3-4/5] shows the relationship of a torturer with his tortured, the bestiality to which the human condition can reach, capable of self-annihilation, annihilate other species and destroy the planet it lives on. This, in broad strokes, gossip about the programming because there is much more. S.M.
