Tokonoma - (I Residencia de Creación LEDJ)

A contemporary dance piece inspired by the Japanese idea of a place devoted to contemplation. It is presented at La Escalera de Jacob as part of Danza Vermú, followed by a talk with its director.

Tokonoma starts from the Japanese idea of a place devoted to contemplation and transfers it to the body. It is a contemporary dance piece, written and directed by Marina Vara, that explores the bond between a place and the people who occupy it. Through movement, the work invites reflection on what remains and on what is fleeting.

Livia Peverelli, Cristina Mayoral and Maite Felipe perform on stage. The piece lasts about 15 minutes and is part of Danza Vermú, an event that MOO Danza presents together with La Escalera de Jacob to bring dance and creation to audiences at vermouth time. Audience members can come in with their favourite drink and watch the performance glass in hand.

After the performance, there is a talk with Marina Vara to discuss what has been seen and chat about the piece. It is a show designed for those who want to see contemporary dance in a short, convivial format.
