WE. Us and Our Times
Mal Pelo
( Mal Pelo )
L'animal a l'esquena (Celrà)
From 20/01/2025 to 28/02/2025
Presentation :
On 24/04/2025 at 20:30 in Mercat de les Flors (Barcelona)
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.
