📖 The inner journey of dancing

In "El mambo que llevamos dentro", bodies let themselves be carried away by music, traversing various physical and emotional states to reveal the internal journey that unfolds while dancing. What happens inside is, precisely, the mambo.

The piece is created and performed by Denis Martinez Roque alongside dancer Bárbara Arrieta. The production features choreographic advice by Oihana Varela, music by Iker González, costumes by Pura Madre Estudio, and visuals by Renata Etanowski.
