“COMETA sends children on a journey of adventure and imagination that begins on stage and ends in an unknown galaxy full of surprises.” —Rheinische Post

On a space shuttle, helmet in hand, a cosmonaut. Cometa is an unexpected traveller who invites us, through her curiosity and discoveries, to look at our surroundings with new eyes, with the eyes of a child. Together we will embark on a galactic adventure in which we will rediscover and marvel at the force of gravity, the infinite possibilities of movement and the power of empathy. Geometry, play and the speed of light. The universe, imagination and interstellar travel. And above all, a party to celebrate that we have found each other!

Roser López Espinosa has been present on the international scene since 2006 and has created large-scale pieces such as L’estol  for the Producció Nacional de Dansa and Trama (Award for Best Choreography at the 22nd Premis de la Crítica).
