We see A Cel Cobert as a growing branch that seeks to interweave contemporary works with classic covered spaces to discover new things. It has the same goals as A Cel Obert but takes place in new settings and delves into different disciplines.
PREVIOUS EDITIONS
“PIETÀ” was inspired by Michelangelo’s sculpture with the same name in the Vatican and from the choreographer’s trips to Jerusalem and Rome, where she found many links between religious faith and the faith she professes through her body and dance. “PIETÀ” is a duet that speaks of the holy and dark at once, of deities becoming flesh, of the spirituality of the body, of its impurity and cleanliness, of motherhood and eroticism.

Ferran Palau writes and describes his story as a landscape that turns at a quiet, calm but constant pace. As constant as his music. His easy-loving style and love songs are back and even more sincere in “PARC”, his new album. Although, if we are honest, this time we will discover a love that hurts a little more, that burns a little harder. A love seduced by the minimalism and synthesisers that guide us, slowly, through Ferran’s imagination.

“Àer” is a piece of contemporary dance and electronic music that rethinks the popular traditional dance of contrapàs and its music from a modern, personal and subjective point of view. The performance reflects on the beginnings and execution of the contrapàs, a dance with religious origins, a solemn character and, originally, only performed by men. Its character is preserved in order to create a choreography where genre loses importance, and it can be performed by both men and women.
With “Àer”, Laia Santanach has won the III Delfí Colomé Prize, an annual award that promotes the creation of new dancing projects with traditional roots.
