The MASDANZA CANARIAS programme arises from the need to accompany and promote creators and artists from the Canary Islands. They are given a space in the context of the Festival with the aim of showing to the public pieces created and/or performed by Canarian artists, consequently contributing to their national and international projection and favoring the creation of a Canarian artistic community.
MASDANZA CANARIAS PROGRAMME 2026
FRIDAY OCT 09 – GUINIGUADA THEATRE – 20:00 h
ÁPEIRON (12′)
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain
Created & Performed by: Daniel Navarro
Music: Nicholas Britell “It’s done”
“ÁPEIRON takes its name from that which has no limits or fixed form. Inspired by the myth of a being capable of transforming its surroundings through movement, the work proposes a physical journey in which movement becomes a form of resistance through beauty, an attempt to remain open in a world that is growing ever harsher.”
“No one knows whether this being managed to transform the world, but those who saw it remember that, for a moment, everything could have been different”.
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”.
BRUNO (15’)
Gran Canaria – Madrid
Created & Performed by: Daniel Fernández [Compañía WETTRIBUTE]
Music: Courtney Bailey “Burnt Moon”, Night Fall In Camp “Cada Día”, Mica Levi “Vanity”, Melody’s Echo Chamber “Shirim”, Raphael “Balada de la Trompeta”
“An angel weeps over my tongue”.

“The world swings in an endless ebb and flow, and in its dance we are torn between being mere witnesses or letting ourselves be swept away by the vertigo of the possible. A course is set for us and we accept it, suspended above an ocean of latent paths. The wind challenges or sustains us; pressure propels or holds us back. Do we move by choice or by inertia? Between the imposed and the uncertain, the structure falters, order fragments. In the suspension of time, something breaks, something is born. In the decision we find peace. Where do we float?”.
