From June 10 to 17, the twenty-first edition of the Cádiz en Danza Festival will be taking place. Festival that is part of the Acieloabierto Network.
He Cádiz Dance Festival takes center stage again, as far as contemporary dance, urban dance or circus programming is concerned. It has already reached its twenty-first edition and this implies that it has a consolidated public that resides inside and outside of Cádiz. Therefore, expectations are very high, as well as the desire to spend a few days in which we are invited to reconnect with Cádiz, leaving the focus on tourism and other things like that in parentheses.
Despite the fact that the programming lasts more than a week, I will focus on what is scheduled for the 16th and 17th. And although it seems cliché, I am not going to stop recommending that you go to everything, because what a few opportunities we have in the city of Cádiz and in many points of Andalusia, to enjoy such programming. For, as is characteristic of the festivals belonging to the Red Acieloabierto, Cádiz en Danza makes sharing programming with its “brother” festivals compatible with its own. In such a way that, whichever one you go to, “you have not seen everything”, but you have had the luxury of reaching what other viewers from other parts of Spain will not have been able to see.
Without more to add, I give way to the schedule for June 16 and 17:
ALESSANDRO SCIARRONI (Italy)
SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME │ 20′ | DANCE TIMES | ITALY-ESPAÑA
HOUSE OF IBEROAMERICA 18:00h
In Save the last dance for me, Alessandro Sciarroni works with dancers Gianmaria Borzillo and Giovanfrancesco Giannini on the steps of a Bolognese dance called Polka Chinata. It is a courtship dance originally performed only by men and dating back to the early 20th century: physically demanding, almost acrobatic, it requires dancers to embrace, twist and bend until their knees are almost touching the ground.
The work was created in collaboration with Giancarlo Stagni, a Filuzziani dance teacher who revived this ancient tradition thanks to the rediscovery and study of some documentary videos from the 1960s. Sciarroni discovered this dance in December 2018 when only 5 people in total They practiced it in Italy. For this reason, the project consists of a presentation interpreted by the two dancers and a series of workshops aimed at disseminating and reviving this endangered popular tradition.
Choreography: Alessandro Sciarroni | Performers: Gianmaria Borzillo and Giovanfrancesco Giannini | Artistic collaboration: Giancarlo Stagni | Music: Aurora Bauza and Pere Jou (Telemann Rec.) | Styling: Ettore Lombardi | Technical direction: Valeria Foti | Tour technician: Cosimo Maggini

I WENT WITH YOUR NAME │ 20′ │ Premiere in Spain
HOUSE OF IBEROAMERICA 7:00 PM
Fragile and heavy, the body manifests its vulnerability and its abandonment in diverse spaces where it transits in search of new encounters, new ways of perceiving an environment in which time and its materiality inhabit and undergo changes of state.

LEÏLA KA (France)
YOU’RE THE ONE WE LOVE + TO CUT LOOSE │ 35’│ ESTRENO EN ANDALUCÍA
CENTRAL DAIRY ROOM 20:00H
YOU’RE THE ONE WE LOVE
There are two of them, but there could be a hundred or a thousand of them. Together, they start off wobbly, sick or sometimes happy, trying perhaps for the best but probably for the worst. They face adversity, but we can only guess what, because we know nothing about it. Our heroines are either invincible or tragically vulnerable: they advance, they resist, sometimes they collapse, but they fight tirelessly until they feel their strength waning. In a winding trajectory made of moments of victory and weakness where hope and disappointment combine, it is a cry of hope where the body rejoices in what it holds most dear, this vital impulse that keeps us on our feet.
Choreography: Leila Ka | Cast: Jennifer Dubreuil, Leila Ka
PUFFS
Motionless, in front of the audience, five women wipe their tear-soaked cheeks. What sadness do they carry? Belongs to them? With Bouffées, Leïla Ka imagines how to heal the “incurable”: welcoming pain to transform it into a means of power and rebirth.
«With grace and poetry, the bodies waver, fall, rise, respond to each other, driven by a vital urgency and crowned with the salvation of tears, like broken stars. The sobs seem to count what has been broken but preserved, so as not to lose the pieces of beauty.» la croix

Build yourself by building your house. Our house, our second body. The work of the human chain: cover the river, excavate the mountain, cut the summit: railway, trucking, incinerator, airport… The house built has been demolished. A painful process of waking up, learning the body, discovering pain… Building oneself by rebuilding the house.

TWO PROPOSALS DANCE-THEATRE (Andalusia)
ESCAPE PACT │ 20′
INTER-CATHEDRALS 12:00 PM
If Eve bit the apple and condemned humanity, these three women are going to end this female condemnation. They, those of the damn apple, those of original sin, women have always been something like ground zero for all the evils on earth, they choose the force of a copla in the voice of Doña Concha Piquer as the start for this passionate encounter that is Pact of Fugue. A story of revelation, ties and liberations, which springs naturally in an energetic, vital and powerful dance. Not another bad apple.

CARMEN FUMERO & DÁCIL GONZÁLEZ (Madrid)
MUTABLE │ 30’
CASA DE IBEROAMÉRICA 20:00 h.
Before entering the room, think about it for a few minutes as a work about to be sculpted. Stop to observe her, contemplate her, look at her landscape. The words and the emotion that describe what happens there, depend on the point of view of the one who observes it. Perception is linked to our way of looking at things and events in each space. The work is conceived for three performers in a medium format, using contemporary dance and music as the main languages. Its conception is based on a museum essence. Scenic layers with different structures, which intertwine and intervene, composing a piece to be contemplated and passed through by an active spectator who completes the picture. The work is based on “appearance” and “reality”, and how the way in which points of view connect with reality, provide perspective, and influence our perception. A crack gives way to a hole through which to look and be observed, a crack in the skin or in a surface; something moves to form it, in us, or perhaps us breaking the space in which we find ourselves, breaking ourselves.

BAD HAIR (Catalonia)
HIGHLANDS │ 90’
GRAN FALLA THEATER 9:30 p.m.
Highlands is the title of the new Mal Pelo production. A show that closes the Bach Project, the last installment of the tetralogy on Bach’s music.
Choral creation for scenic space. Fourth part of the tetralogy.
After more than a decade exploring the music of Johan Sebastian Bach, Mal Pelo presents Highlandsthe last piece of the tetralogy inspired by the composer’s music.
Highlands it is an explosion of the work gestated and matured in the previous shows (Bach, On Goldberg Variations / Variations and Inventions) where we have analyzed and deepened the listening and visualization of the structures, harmonies, voices and development of the music of JS Bach. A study that, over many years, has caused us questions, curiosity and many hours of research around the dialogue between dance and baroque counterpoint music.
Highlands It is a work about the search for spirituality and the mundane, about unanswered questions, about the temporal paradox of the human in front of the deep time of history. A sound and visual journey where the viewer feels the strength of the group in space, the presence of the individual, and where the mixture of different disciplines summons a plural body, ready to be inhabited and traversed.
