Sull’uscio/At the Door is the provisional title of a piece in which the young dance company Apolvere hopes to experiment with a few ideas in the early stage of research carried out between L’animal a l’esquena and the Akropolis Centre in Greece.

The artistic interest in making the piece lies in the fact that the two co-directors, who come from Italy and Spain, are currently experiencing an increase in fascist political discourse, and its normalisation, both in their home countries and in the rest of Europe. This has brought home to them the importance of making a piece that discusses collective organisation to preserve a future in which freedom of expresson and dignified living conditions are not at risk.

MYCO is a meditation on silence, communication and the intricate web of life that binds us all. In a world full of noise and hurry, this piece reminds us that we need to listen to the murmur of the trees, the beats of our surroundings and the silent poetry of existence. Through dance, a space is created for reflection, connection and, ultimately, recognition of the beauty that flourishes both in the woods and within ourselves.

A surprising osmosis twenty years ago linked María Muñoz to the Well Tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach. The choreographer does far more than merely interpret the music, she is a musician sublimating prelude and fugue, in the vivacity and depth of her calligraphic movements. Her finely carved dance has revealed, over time, the evolution of her body and the sensibility of her artistic career. At the moment when age might oblige her to give up this solo that has become a life-companion, the Théâtre de la Ville has invited her to imagine BACH en famille, in the company of her partner, the artist and choreographer Pep Ramis, and her three children Martí, Paula and Sam, all now professional dancers. To crown such an impressive career, a work that blends with real life.

A project that crosses frontiers and disciplines, on the figure of the savage in the carnivals of the Pyrenees.

“Créatures” in French translates to “criatures” in Catalan and “criaturas” in Occitan and Spanish (“creatures” in English). The inclusive, neutral form could be written as “creatures”, so that “Cre/iatures” is readable in the four romance languages. “Izakiak” is the Basque version of the word.

Depuis plus de trente ans, Ex Nihilo développe une danse située, physique, sans artifice, une danse
qui s’invente au contact direct des lieux et des personnes. Notre parcours s’est construit à travers
de nombreuses expérimentations in situ qui nous ont permis de composer et affirmer une danse
qui investit les lieux, les révèle, les transforme, par le corps fragile et vibrant du danseur. Une pratique
qui naît toujours de sa relation avec l’espace urbain brut : surfaces, reliefs, vents, rythmes de la ville,
présences humaines, tensions et respirations d’un territoire.
Ce projet chorégraphique s’inscrit donc dans une réflexion profonde que nous menons sur le temps
qui passe, qui façonne, qui efface, mais aussi celui qui transmet et qui construit.
Nous nous appuierons sur une mémoire vivante – celle des corps qui se sont frottés aux villes du monde,
qui ont appris à lire les espaces, à composer avec l’inattendu, à faire émerger du poétique dans l’ordinaire
pour réinterroger cette relation fondamentale au dehors et à l’Autre et défendre une danse libre, exposée
et profondément ancrée dans le réel.
