MAKING HISTORY (IES) VOL II CYCLE

Biannual cycle curated by La Poderosa with collaboration from Mercat de les Flors, Blue Project, Antic Teatre and Sala Hiroshima.

Hacer Historia(s) is a contemporary dance cycle that looks backwards with the desire to construct history from a personal gaze: BODY, MEMORY, FILE AND TRANSMISSION.

Since 2000, there is a tendency in contemporary performance arts to retrieve works from the recent past. Hacer Historia(s) looks at some of these approaches, replacing works from different periods with contemporary pieces that stand out from the usual repertory and that, far from fixating nostalgically on the past, are looking to give the selected accounts a shake up and reflect on their relation to the present.

…”if one observes the field of contemporary dance in Europe and the United States, it is impossible not to realise that dancers are more and more frequently retracing their own paths and that of the history of dance in order to find the “objective of their search”…

As part of this project there will be two performances at Antic Teatre that consider the body as the container of the representations and ways of moving that have moulded it through its environment: family, city, work, teachers, etc.; and though it cannot escape them, it can interpret them from its own particular anatomy and way of understanding movement.
