ÀNGEL DURAN

Show included in the Dansa Metropolitana festival

MONUMENT is a journey into the memory of youth, a monument that stands as a witness to this rebellion and a tribute to the legacy of subcultures. Through a multiplicity of body languages, MONUMENT unfolds a quintet of bodies that intertwine as agents of a collective rebellion in the form of a transitory fervour that, as it is forged, disintegrates.

With a degree in dance from SEAD (Salzburg, Austria) and in Art and Design from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Duran is also a trained actor. He has worked for a variety of European choreographers and companies, including Anton Lachky (Brussels), Milla Koistinen (Berlin), Stephan Herwigh (Munich) and DOT504 (Prague) and, since 2020, has also been developing his own project focused on exploring the human condition through the investigation of body language and the adoption of new dramaturgy. Duran traverses the poetry of movement and emotional expression. He has received several awards, most recently winning the Butaca for the best male dance artist.
