L’aneguet Lleig

Dance show entitled L’aneguet Lleig, which translates into Spanish as El patito feo, presented at Teatre Muntaner in Barcelona. A stage production taking the well-known tale by Hans Christian Andersen as its starting point.

L’aneguet Lleig is a dance show that takes its title from Hans Christian Andersen's tale, The Ugly Duckling, the story of a little duck who feels different among his own kind until he discovers who he is. The production falls within the realm of stage dance and translates that story into the language of the body and movement on stage.

In the auditorium, the audience attends a dance performance where the story is presented through staging and physical work, without the need to have prior knowledge of the tale to follow the piece. Teatre Muntaner is the venue hosting this performance in Barcelona, a theatre that programmes concerts and shows of various genres throughout the year.

Due to its narrative starting point, the show may appeal to those looking for dance with a recognisable storyline and those wishing to approach a children's literature classic through another artistic medium.
