Nadal 2024

Ual·la will be the masters of ceremony of the afternoon programme and will fill the transitions between shows with scenes from their show PLAY!, an invitation to play and explore limitless creativity. 

In this “tablemusic” performance, the artists bring together different elements, with no specific meaning, to embrace diverse and surprising forms of everyday reality. With balls, chalk, combs, notebooks and plastic bags, this duo will mix genres such as hip-hop, spoken word and bossa nova.

Both music and comedy for all audiences.

Modernity impacts the most vulnerable, marginalises the misfits who are torn between rebellion and docility. 

Under the artistic direction of Marcos Morau, the Navarrese dance company Led Silhouette will present a meeting of time and languages, with the body and movement driving an exploration of the limits of human endurance.

Los Perros is an energetic and transformative piece seeking a state of resistance. Dogs that meet, that share joy and pain, that fall and get up, that dance, that rebel through love, to find the meaning of their lives. A passionate dance that finds its purest meaning in repetition and catharsis. Dancing to exhaustion, barking until the last breath, living to the point of exhaustion.

What happens when the chick leaves the nest? This dance-theatre show for all audiences depicts the transition from childhood to the first stage of adulthood, as we leave the protective family nest behind.

With a group of young people in their twenties and thirties, the stage becomes a space to reflect on the future, in a complex world with uncertain prospects. 

The nest is the ideal play space to express their concerns. A poetic metaphor-filled space, where the great small human tragedies are explored through a lens of humour, poetry and hope.

Alidé Sans, a powerful and moving voice from Vall d'Aran, presents her project Arraïtz. Meaning “root” in the Aranese variant of Occitan, the artist updates Occitan oral traditional songs with elements of current musical production, fusing modernity with tradition. Arraïtz is a tribute to the Occitan language and popular culture, to rural mountains and to female empowerment. 

The melodies of rondèus, borrèies and vals, filtered through modern musical codes, will make you dance and enjoy the music as a community.

After presenting El patio (work in progress) last season, Juan Carlos Panduro returns to the Catalan capital to offer the second part of this interdisciplinary poetry-circus piece.

This time, the creative power of circus and poetic techniques act as the framework, creating an aesthetic, plastic and vertical language that aims to be an end in itself. An acro-dance solo in capital letters that amazes and thrills.

“I spent the night in the courtyard waiting for the moon

I put my hands together to make an offering

do you think sorrow is something you can see?”

Idea, Creation and Performance: Juan Carlos Panduro Music: Toni Kelm Stage Design: Jean-François Keller and Juan Carlos Panduro

The Christmas period enjoys the longest nights of the year. The stars shine more brightly and, just like when we were children, we try to understand what lies beyond the stars and the universe. Natal brings us closer to this immense, magical and unknown sky, where music and contemporary circus go hand in hand.

A group of old friends reminisce about the genuine and innocent questions they asked each other as children. The starry Christmas sky invites them to rediscover and recover that childhood feeling of immensity and surprise, of curiosity and, above all, of the desire to continue to be amazed and to learn; a feeling that, as we grow up, can fade away until it completely disappears.

Through acrobatics, aerial acts, songs, laughter, dances and live electronic music performed by kids, the protagonists of this piece will play with everything they have left to discover and invite us to enjoy a winter evening under a great starry night sky.
