Festival Madrid en Danza 2027

Dance festival organised by the Comunidad de Madrid bringing together works by foreign, Spanish and Madrid-based creators, with Teatros del Canal as its central venue and choreographer Mónica Runde at the helm of artistic direction.

Madrid en Danza is a long-established festival organised by the Comunidad de Madrid, presenting works by creators from outside Spain, from other parts of the country and from the Madrid scene, with an unusual programme. It blends established figures in the sector with emerging proposals, and its main aim is to give visibility to new ways of creating and to the themes of Spanish dance. Each edition also includes an international section centred on several focal points.

From its next edition onwards, the festival will be biennial and combines artistic showcase with the professional market, functioning both as a festival and a trade fair. Companies, authors, programmers and sector managers meet here to open collaborations and foster their development. Teatros del Canal will be the central venue, although a good part of the shows will be spread across other venues, private theatres and several municipalities in the region.

Artistic direction is in the hands of Mónica Runde, choreographer and dancer, recognised as one of the pioneers of contemporary dance in Spain's second Madrid generation. Her choreographies enjoy international prestige. In its previous edition, the festival included world premieres, other Spanish premieres and several more in the Comunidad de Madrid.
