"Para amar para intentar encontrarte ahora" es un proyecto en el que Xavi Bobés inicia un periodo de investigación y creación objetual vinculando el universo de la poesía objetual con la poesía literaria y la poesía floral, los tres bajo un denominador común: la poética objetual del luto.
Continuación del trabajo realizado en sus anteriores residencias al animal.
Después de la primera residencia al 2021 al animal y las residencias posteriores, devuelven para poder continuar trabajando en el trabajo sonoro y en el guion del film.
”El cuerpo humano no es un objeto cerrado y estático sino una entidad inacabada, interconectada con los suelos, las aguas y los vientos que lo atraviesan: una criatura salvaje cuya vida depende de la multiplicidad de vidas que la rodean y las mareas cambiantes que la recorren".
(...)
Podemos percibir el mundo a muestro alrededor solo porque somos una parte de ese mundo, porque -en virtud de nuestro dinamismo y densidad carnal- estamos inmersos por completo en las profundidades de la sensorialidad terrestre.”
Devenir animal, David Abram
After the labs in 2024 carried out in L’animal a l’esquena, Mal Pelo now begins the creation process of his new performance.
With a thirty-five-year career behind them that has established them as one of the leading dance companies in our country, Pep Ramis and María Muñoz are planning a new piece with an inter-generational group. Bringing together the experience of some of the regular performers and collaborators of the company with the youth, strength and passion of new performers, will put the emphasis in this project on the transmission of language in a heterogeneous group in which age, experience and artistic gaze are multiple and varied.
The project focuses on the question:
What do we leave in the palm of our hand to give to new generations?
WE, us, a community that defines us as individuals? A sense of belonging, where?
Across time and generations, we continue to ask ourselves about our identity, our place, our future. Ours?
We shall seek the answers in research into movement, dance and texts, generated by different bodies, with different ages and visions of life.
Inspired by the ambivalence of the individual and community, and based on the John Berger poem Separation, we shall delve into the journey, emigration, the loss of place as a reference, concentrating on developing the basic principle of movement: walking.
De voz, un cuerpo is a performance project with four musicians and a dancer. Together they will com-pose a sound track based on research begun by Leonor Leal at the end of 2022. This sound track will be the fruit of a free interpretation of the testimonies of women (former flamenco dancers) who described to Leonor their inner images as they danced.
L'animal a l'esquena (Celrà) From 24/02/2025 to 07/03/2025
Baal Dansa ( Baal Dansa )
A science fiction story, a speculative, futuristic fable that pulls on the threads of the stories and theories of Donna Haraway and Vinciane Despret (philosophers, theorists, writers and eco-feminisits).
In this project we want to explore possible, crazy futures in response to the challenges we face in human relations, technology and on the planet Earth.
The fable is set in a world on the threshold of apocalypse, where resources are running out, global warming is a realiaty and nature responds with force to the challenges it faces.
Despite this situation we seek, as Haraway says, how to “stay with the trouble” through the multi-species, in which the human being, thanks to genetic modification, will trans-mutate with a species of the planet so as to feel more deeply our connection with the non-human, and so cease to be the main protagonist and destructor of the Earth.
This symbiosis will also be the main theme of our research, in which interaction between the visible and invisible will be essential in the relationship body - sound - space - object - technology.

A collaboration with the Teatre Ateneu de Celrà. A second residency for this French dance and circus company before the premiere of the piece.
Transhumance is a funeral full of fanfare, fantasy and phantoms. A family tribe gathers for the father’s last flight. But when the dead man does not understand that “when you have to go, you have to go”, the leap into the unknown becomes absurd. The children beat their wings to give a push to their father. Feet pound, the dance catches fire, acrobats up in the air find their support and eggs are juggled until the final explosion. An extravaganza of strange birds in a time of sharing and suspense.

This sound track will be the fruit of a free interpretation of the testimonies of women (former flamenco dancers) who described to Leonor their inner images as they danced.
There are few texts written by flamenco dancers, rather than essays on dance or biographies. There are few bodies that have published their internal images, based on their personal observations that have helped them to dance better. Practice is full of tangible material for our bodies, words that resonate one day in our learning process and change our vision, lines of light, lines on the floor, in sound, on our skins, ideas, sensations, temporary parameters, silences, gestures, prayers, invocations of other bodies, melodies, remedies and even entire conversations in the solitude of our bodies on this art that has always seemed from the outside to be mute.
Martí Ramis and Ariadna Bonacina retourn to their project after the avant premiere at FIET (the Children's and Youth Theatre Festival of Mallorca) before the final premiere in 2025.
