In the sequence of the measures approved by the Generalitat de Catalunya derived from the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus,Antic Teatre – Espai de Creació postpone AMARO until new warning.

AMARO, a piece of body research focused on the crescendo and the capacity to transform. The piece is constructed with abstract movements, the use of a fixed point, and the concept of limits, showing us the different shapes and dynamics that can be adopted by one body.
The work of musician Rodrigo Rammsy, also on stage, along with Arnau Sala’s powerful lighting solutions, are essential to the performance, constructing a mindful dialogue between the three layers of expression all working in unison.
The piece invites us to change as it does, following its progression towards an intense final catharsis.
AMARO is a relentless trip, an overdose of movement, music and light, and a hypnotic sensory experience.


Raquel Gualtero Soriano graduated in Contemporary Dance from MTD – Theaterschool / Higher School of Arts, Amsterdam, in 2005, and a year later received a danceWEB grant for the ImpulsTanz festival in Vienna.

Her earliest work as a dancer was with various international companies, including Scottish Dance Theatre (Scotland), Compagnia Zappala (Italy) and Fabulous Beast (England), and she also had the chance to work with Àngels Margarit and Àlex Rigola, contemporary Catalan directors. Settled in Barcelona since 2015, she has been able to join forces with other professionals such as Pere Faura, Sonia Gómez, Janet Novas and Lipi Hernández, collaborating and working on projects with them.
