These two companies bring together young dancers from around the world aged 18 to 22. They are versatile, creative and life-changing and travel the local and national stages. Thanks to their multidisciplinary training, these young artists can present a wide repertoire that includes neoclassical ballet, contemporary dance and avant-garde creations.
AREA JEUNE BALLET | Geneva
Un autre jour by Ken Ossola – Premiere !
Myth by Francesco Curci
Through two choreographic pieces, the young dancers of the Area Jeune Ballet evoke solidarity, freedom, rebirth and the future of young people in society. From the intimacy of a love duo to the ardor of a group of young people burning with a deep desire to live, we go through a succession of subtle emotions to tell of a youth in search of meaning.
ÁFRICA GUZMÁN DANCE PROJECT | Madrid
Clarity, Hidden Soul, Fire of passion by África Guzmán
África Guzmán Dance Project presents an eclectic program, full of strength and sensitivity, composed of choreographies that immerse the viewer in a journey full of sensations, combining neoclassical and contemporary dance, demonstrating the versatility that characterizes this company. From the Mediterranean rhythms of Akbar Moradi to the subtlety of Shubert, the Madrid choreographer África Guzmán shows us in her various works the preeminence of her own choreographic language.
