Aracaladanza - Barroco (co)

Dance premiere by the company Aracaladanza, choreographed by Enrique Cabrera, which reinterprets the Baroque universe by combining classical music and contemporary sounds in a production of almost an hour aimed at all audiences.

Barroco offers a fresh look at the Baroque world, approached through imagination and play. The staging is directed by the Spanish-Argentine choreographer Enrique Cabrera and features five performers: Carolina Arija, Lydia Martínez, María Moguer, Aleix Rodríguez and Jonatan de Luis.

On stage, the dancers draw soft lines in the air that fade like smoke, while classical music intertwines with contemporary sounds. The cast also includes a hen. The show lasts almost an hour and is aimed at general audiences, with no prior knowledge of dance required.
