A project that crosses frontiers and disciplines, on the figure of the savage in the carnivals of the Pyrenees.

“Créatures” in French translates to “criatures” in Catalan and “criaturas” in Occitan and Spanish (“creatures” in English). The inclusive, neutral form could be written as “creatures”, so that “Cre/iatures” is readable in the four romance languages. “Izakiak” is the Basque version of the word.

A surprising osmosis twenty years ago linked María Muñoz to the Well Tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach. The choreographer does far more than merely interpret the music, she is a musician sublimating prelude and fugue, in the vivacity and depth of her calligraphic movements. Her finely carved dance has revealed, over time, the evolution of her body and the sensibility of her artistic career. At the moment when age might oblige her to give up this solo that has become a life-companion, the Théâtre de la Ville has invited her to imagine BACH en famille, in the company of her partner, the artist and choreographer Pep Ramis, and her three children Martí, Paula and Sam, all now professional dancers. To crown such an impressive career, a work that blends with real life.

MYCO is a meditation on silence, communication and the intricate web of life that binds us all. In a world full of noise and hurry, this piece reminds us that we need to listen to the murmur of the trees, the beats of our surroundings and the silent poetry of existence. Through dance, a space is created for reflection, connection and, ultimately, recognition of the beauty that flourishes both in the woods and within ourselves.

Sull’uscio/At the Door is the provisional title of a piece in which the young dance company Apolvere hopes to experiment with a few ideas in the early stage of research carried out between L’animal a l’esquena and the Akropolis Centre in Greece.

The artistic interest in making the piece lies in the fact that the two co-directors, who come from Italy and Spain, are currently experiencing an increase in fascist political discourse, and its normalisation, both in their home countries and in the rest of Europe. This has brought home to them the importance of making a piece that discusses collective organisation to preserve a future in which freedom of expresson and dignified living conditions are not at risk.
