Dance has the marvellous capacity to underline the beauty or significance of the space that hosts it. In this case, the chosen space is «The Maspalomas Dunes», located in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana. Their 400 hectares include an excellent beach, a dune field, a palm tree forest and a brackish lagoon.
MASDANZA DUNES PROGRAMME 2026
SATURDAY OCT 10 – THE MASPALOMAS DUNES LOOKOUT POINT – 19:00 h
PIES DE GALLINA (15’)
Seville, Spain
Created & Performed by: Ana F. Melero & Luna Sánchez
Original Music: Xerach Peñate
“’PIES DE GALLINA’explores the bond between two women, with the encounter centred on the balance between holding on and breaking down. Inspired by the expressions “to have goosebumps” and “to tread carefully”, the piece explores the tension between the sensory and the rational, weaving a relationship of support and vulnerability between these bodies. To be one in order to exist in a balance that is always on the brink of collapse”.
LOLA Y LOS LAMENTOS (10’)
A Coruña, Spain
Created & Performed by: Andrea Castro Fernández
Music: Vidimus Stellam “Gregotechno”
“Raised in the Catholic tradition, Lola has lived by beliefs that, all of a sudden, no longer sustain her. She no longer knows what she believes in or who she is without that faith which once gave her a sense of purpose. What was once a firm foundation has now become a crack that forces her to rethink who she is and how she wants to live».
BULLnerable (14´)
Gran Canaria, Spain
Created & Performed by: Andrea Pérez Bueno & Abián Hernández Herrera
Music: Martin Roth “Simplicité”, Lena Platonos & Ion “Dialima to Sabato”, Fee Again & Brian Eno “Come On Home”.
“This work emphasizes the power of sensitivity and the need to connect with oneself and others in order to accept uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure. Linked to love, we establish a safe system that allows us to be affected by what happens. With a conscious awareness of our social context, we seek a source of hope so that we can easily navigate life with our eyes closed. In this way, we manifest the experience of our emotions as a force that influences the individual’s personality”.
TRÏADE (15’)
Lugo, Galicia
Created by: Esther Latorre & Hugo Pereira [Colectivo Glovo]
Performed by: Esther Latorre, Paula Serrano & Sybila Gutiérrez
Music: Baiuca & Mercedes Peón
“Once upon a time, there was a society that had written off the gods as dead and allowed certain women to take control of ancient symbols. The result was an independent, positronic code, based on laughter, complicity and their own language”.
