What are we leaving in the palm of our hand to pass on to new generations? A community that defines us as individuals? A sense of belonging? Belonging to where? Throughout time and across generations, we continue to question our identity, our future. We have sought answers in the study of movement, dance and texts, through different bodies, ages and perspectives on life.
Mal Pelo, co-directed by Pep Ramis and María Muñoz, is a collaborative performing arts group that has created more than 30 shows. Through these productions, their own unique language based on movement and the creation of dramaturgies have been developed, including text, original soundtracks, live music, scenographic spaces, lighting, video and other stage elements.
