In the project Para amar para intentar encontrarte ahora/To love to try to find you now, Xavi Bobés sets out on a period of research and object-based creation that links the world of the poetry of objects with those of literary and floral poetry, all three with a common denominator: the object-based poetry of mourning. This creation process comes from a desire to find a place for “things” that are rapidly losing theirs: silence, reading, nature, holding a gaze, touch, awareness of breathing and the fruit of all these, empathy.

Part of the programme of the Festival Això al Poble NO li agradrà (The People Don’t Like That)
Gritarán las piedras/ The Stones Will Shout is an investigation into the ways in which power performs. In 2023 Urati Laboratorio began researching the stage mechanisms (visual, aesthetic, physical and verbal) that express power relations in our environment, with the aim of broaching, through artistic practice, the following question: is power natural, or an artifice?

Residency in the final stage of the creation of the piece, before the premiere in 2025

“A Corrupted Empire” (provisional title) presents an imagined scenario in which, stranded in a place where time and space are meaningless concepts, confrontation seems to be the only way out of the desolate landscape. Within this conflict, the ego suggests defining itself by denying what it hates and rejects. Against a backdrop with a post-industrial aesthetic, two individuals develop a complex, intricate and intimate relationship that drives them to seek out new perspectives in this apparently exhausted land.

This is a continuation of the work carried out at previous residencies at L’animal.
After the first residency at L’animal in 2021, and the ones that followed, they now return to continue working on the sound and the script for the film.

“The human body is not a closed, static object but an unfinished entity, interconnected with the ground, the waters and the winds that pass through it: a wild creature whose life depends on the multitude of lives that surround it and the changing tides that run through it”.
(…)
“We can perceive the world around us only because we are a part of that world, because - due to our dynamism and carnal density - we are completely immersed in the depths of earthly sensitivity”.

Becoming Animal, David Abram

Alba Laseras, a graduate in Audiovisual Communication specialising in the film industry, and Victor Bote (Gotskillah), producer and MC from Celra, will start an experimental photographic project combining photographic technique with an investigation into light and colour (or lack thereof), focusing on a musical profile. The subject of their research is black and white, or monochrome photography, artistic photography, urban and portrait photography.

The music duo JAVENTU will make a dance video in the locaGon of L'animal and Alta Garrotxa for the upcoming release of SUNGAZE. A single from their new album CALIGO that will be released June 2025.
JAVENTU is a music duo with Jacob Gregersen and Vitus Denifl based in Salzburg, and this will be their second album release. They move within a hybrid landscape of genre mashing groove-oriented treasures of sound. Compositions ranging from Nordic Jazz, chamber-like poetry to wild and juicy songs with heavy grooves inspired from West African music styles, Hip Hop and Jungle.

After the labs in 2024 carried out in L’animal a l’esquena, Mal Pelo now begins the creation process of his new performance.

With a thirty-five-year career behind them that has established them as one of the leading dance companies in our country, Pep Ramis and María Muñoz are planning a new piece with an inter-generational group. Bringing together the experience of some of the regular performers and collaborators of the company with the youth, strength and passion of new performers, will put the emphasis in this project on the transmission of language in a heterogeneous group in which age, experience and artistic gaze are multiple and varied.

The project focuses on the question:
What do we leave in the palm of our hand to give to new generations?
WE, us, a community that defines us as individuals? A sense of belonging, where?
Across time and generations, we continue to ask ourselves about our identity, our place, our future. Ours?
We shall seek the answers in research into movement, dance and texts, generated by different bodies, with different ages and visions of life.
Inspired by the ambivalence of the individual and community, and based on the John Berger poem Separation, we shall delve into the journey, emigration, the loss of place as a reference, concentrating on developing the basic principle of movement: walking.

De voz, un cuerpo is a performance project with four musicians and a dancer. Together they will com-pose a sound track based on research begun by Leonor Leal at the end of 2022. This sound track will be the fruit of a free interpretation of the testimonies of women (former flamenco dancers) who described to Leonor their inner images as they danced.

A science fiction story, a speculative, futuristic fable that pulls on the threads of the stories and theories of Donna Haraway and Vinciane Despret (philosophers, theorists, writers and eco-feminisits).
In this project we want to explore possible, crazy futures in response to the challenges we face in human relations, technology and on the planet Earth.

The fable is set in a world on the threshold of apocalypse, where resources are running out, global warming is a realiaty and nature responds with force to the challenges it faces.
Despite this situation we seek, as Haraway says, how to “stay with the trouble” through the multi-species, in which the human being, thanks to genetic modification, will trans-mutate with a species of the planet so as to feel more deeply our connection with the non-human, and so cease to be the main protagonist and destructor of the Earth.

This symbiosis will also be the main theme of our research, in which interaction between the visible and invisible will be essential in the relationship body - sound - space - object - technology.

A collaboration with the Teatre Ateneu de Celrà. A second residency for this French dance and circus company before the premiere of the piece.

Transhumance is a funeral full of fanfare, fantasy and phantoms. A family tribe gathers for the father’s last flight. But when the dead man does not understand that “when you have to go, you have to go”, the leap into the unknown becomes absurd. The children beat their wings to give a push to their father. Feet pound, the dance catches fire, acrobats up in the air find their support and eggs are juggled until the final explosion. An extravaganza of strange birds in a time of sharing and suspense.

This sound track will be the fruit of a free interpretation of the testimonies of women (former flamenco dancers) who described to Leonor their inner images as they danced.

There are few texts written by flamenco dancers, rather than essays on dance or biographies. There are few bodies that have published their internal images, based on their personal observations that have helped them to dance better. Practice is full of tangible material for our bodies, words that resonate one day in our learning process and change our vision, lines of light, lines on the floor, in sound, on our skins, ideas, sensations, temporary parameters, silences, gestures, prayers, invocations of other bodies, melodies, remedies and even entire conversations in the solitude of our bodies on this art that has always seemed from the outside to be mute.

Martí Ramis and Ariadna Bonacina retourn to their project after the avant premiere at FIET (the Children's and Youth Theatre Festival of Mallorca) before the final premiere in 2025.
