‘LAST SPACE’ (30′) – FRANTICS DANCE COMPANY

Last Space is a journey into the unconscious mind of its performers. Viewers witness how everything breaks down and dissolves through truly unique, energetic yet delicate physicality.
Frantics is a company that arose from Berlin’s underground dance scene. Today, they offer a language of movement which blends the different disciplines of movement together.

Frantics is a Berlin-based contemporary dance company founded in 2013 by Carlos Aller, Marco Di Nardo, Diego De la Rosa and Juan Tirado, who came from the city’s underground street dance scene. Today, they offer a language of movement which blends different disciplines such as b-boying, hip-hop, breakdancing, improvisation techniques and contemporary dance, all set within an imposing theatrical framework. Frantics’ style is a celebration of the human spirit.

‘AZUL PETRÓLEO’ (30′) – IRON SKULLS COMPANY

The Iron Skulls Co collective presents a 30-minute excerpt from its new creation, which will be premiered in March 2022 as part of the Dansa Quinzena Metropolitana festival.

How much of our individuality are we prepared to give up so we can still belong to a group? Azul Petróleo carries out research through instinct. We’ll be watching a deliberation on how belonging to a group can affect the expression of our individual human nature.

Iron Skulls Co, a Barcelona-based dance collective, has its roots in the b-boy crew known as the Iron Skulls Crew, founded in 2005. Professionally incorporated in 2013, it is made up of dancers from all over Spain and is known for its unique style, which fuses different disciplines and continually seeks to push the boundaries of movement.
