El mundo atrás
Rolando Salamé/ Madrid-Chile

A dance and physical theatre piece that explores an exodus—no longer from a town, but from the human being. It explores the sense of belonging, what one takes with them and carries, and what is left behind and remains.

PHYSICAL THEATRE & DANCE

blOck it oUT   
Charly / Belgium

It represents a challenge to stay focused on what’s important in the face of relentless distractions and endless external information that constantly bombards us in the fast-paced modern world we live in.

¿Hasta cuándo?
Fugite | Mexico

Routine, the relentless passage of time, the intricate processes of decision-making and, lastly, the inevitable outcomes. Is it all merely a matter of chance, or is there a hidden purpose behind every action?

DANCE

UCSO●    UnaCarezzaSugliOcchi
Balletto di Sardegna / Italy

A loving touch, a reassuring gesture. A fragment of life, the complexity of feelings. The mutability of a relationship over time and the acceptance of changes, from apparently error-filled experiences to a vital awakening.

22
Kim Siwon / Korea

It is a work that holds the phrase “after hardship comes joy” inside the body and delays it. In the process through which life becomes dance, and dance returns once again to life, I seek to find the reason why this repetition can continue.

DANCE

WE’RE ALL FISH  
Lur and Maru / E.H., Portugal, Brussels

“In this world our inner child is the one making the decisions creating a genuine, playful world which is both a statement and a challenge. This piece is a statement of our love.”

The marginal man 
Yingyu Lyu / France

This dance is divided into four parts: Give me up, save me, find me, exile me. It is inspired by the story of Icarus’ fall. Through the performance, the artist seeks to make the audience feel the power of loneliness. Those who are on the edge of reality can also have the courage to surpass themselves

DANCE

JARANA SP  
cia Laia Santanach/ Catalonia

JARANA explores traditional collective practices that have disappeared or are in danger of disappearing. It is a celebration that invites reflection on the importance of preserving traditional celebrations while also exploring new forms of collective expression in an increasingly changing and technological world.

The Liminal Body                              F-A-E Archive/ Korea

“The Liminal Body” views archival records not as traces fixed in the past, but as entities continuously brought into the present through relationships. Within the boundaries where body and record, image and reality, and past and present intersect, it reveals a state of belonging completely to neither side.”

A work commissioned by the Seoul Museum of Art

THE KID                                    Volta  / USA      

This piece examines intimacy, alienation, and our longing for authentic connection in the digital age. Two performers’ relationship to a mundane prop transforms, exploring technology as a surrogate for human connection, with an original score by Dylan Fujioka.

ÊTRE
Cía. Miguel Jiménez|  Valencia

“Who am I? Who is the other? Where do we come from? Where do we belong?” These are the fundamental questions at the heart of *Être*, a dance-theater piece that blends philosophy, spoken word, and movement through the techniques of physical theater and contemporary dance. An intimate, poetic, and reflective exploration that seeks to offer a new perspective on what we call “identity.”
