An entertaining and dynamic program with a very contemporary language
IT Dansa, the young dance company of the Institut del Teatre de Barcelona, presents once again its proposal for our young audience. This is a pedagogical project of the Institut del Teatre de Barcelona, created in 1996 for the professionalization and perfection of young dancers.
The repertoire includes Twentyeight thousand waves, by Cayetano Soto, a dancer from the first IT Dansa class and currently an internationally renowned choreographer. The piece was inspired by the average number of hits a tanker receives from sea waves — which is twenty-eight thousand a day — as a concept to talk about resilience, life and death, and the capacity for survival.
Biterna is a choreography created especially for the opening show of the 33rd Dansàneu, The Festival of Cultures of the Pyrenees of the Àneu Valley, by dancer and choreographer Aleix Martínez. The title of the piece refers to the imaginary place where, according to medieval belief, witches would gather to worship the devil.
Minus 16, by Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin, traverses music genres such as cha-cha-cha, mambo, and popular Israeli songs; themes that are familiar and very pleasant. The piece quickly transitions through various moods, from joy to despondency, from intimacy to group fun.
Under the direction of Catherine Allard, the young dancers of IT Dansa offer a show full of vitality and great artistic quality that will thrill the Auditori de Sant Cugat. A lively and dynamic program with a very contemporary and attractive language capable of awakening an interest in dance in anyone.
