Dansa València, as a promoter of the Valencian professional sector, hosts in a showcase format the latest pieces by five local creators who have been selected by a commission of experts. The sample is for the programmers of the Circuit Cultural Valencià and other agents with the intention of increasing the presence of dance in local programming.

Activity for professionals.

Curarse de espanto

The body-archive is a body filled with ghosts, memories, rhythms, and words. A body made of other bodies (previous generations, living people who accompany us in our daily lives, people we don’t know) that appear and disappear within our physicality.

Guillermo Llorens and Mariana Sofía Valero co-direct La Repetidora, a multidisciplinary dance company based in Valencia. Their work explores performance formats where dance, sound, text, and live music converge. From this foundation, they reflect on the discourses that permeate the body, identity, power relations, and popular culture.

Oru & Kreya

Two entities descend from a science fiction universe and materialize into physical form. In Oru & Kreya, embodying the human body becomes a sensorial exploration, a discovery of touch, the density of air, the strangeness of gravity, and the caress of skin.

They don’t seek to understand anything, but to feel everything.

Eyas Dance Project is a dance company and cultural platform based in Valencia, founded in 2018 by Carlos González and Seth Buckley.

Oveja eléctrica

Oveja Eléctrica is a dance piece set in the universe of “Blade Runner”, film directed by Ridley Scott, based on the novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” by Philip K. Dick. The work delves into the question of whether there is a human essence or whether we really are a symbolic construction that is projected to give meaning to our existence. What does it really mean to live?

The Co. Pla Roig was created in 2024 by Sergio Pla to exploring on the deeper layers of the human being and their relationship with time and society, drawing inspiration from cinematographic universes that engage with current social issues. Dance is conceived as the vehicle for generating a dialogue between poetics, technique and content.

Concept and creation: Sergio Pla

Performance: Iby

Pan y circo

The comfort of habit and a lack of self-criticism lead to neglecting social ethics. In this piece, Elvira and Morera question the Western perspective and hegemonic leisure: by embodying it, they reflect on the impact of our way of life and how it is sustained at the expense of the most disadvantaged.

This first piece by these young creators emerged after their collaboration on Cristina Gómez’s piece Nana and its subsequent video dance. In addition to extensive training in contemporary, Spanish, and other dance styles, both combine sensitivity, rigor, and musicality, and have undertaken diverse stage projects.

Creation and interpretation: Alba Elvira and Eugenia Morera.

Un paso adelante

A Step Forward is built from the bottomless pit where all audition efforts end up: that place of the discarded, of what fails the test. The piece rescues these frustrated and forgotten attempts, giving them the prominence they always deserved, transforming error and repetition into the purest material of creation.

Mar Garcia and Javi Soler investigate the relationship between movement and sound on stage, both as protagonists of the performative action. Their work is characterized by the concreteness of the stage material and a specific search for connecting with the audience. They combine contemporary technical references with those from their generational context and the collective imagination.
