MOLAR

A dance solo about happiness.

Molar is a solo dance piece that delves into the theme of happiness. It explores happiness as a construct governed by agreed-upon behavioural norms. The performance examines happiness and its personification, delving into stereotypical images directly associated with states of euphoria and well-being.
This critically acclaimed work has received praise from audiences and has been featured in prestigious festivals such as Sismògraf, Fira Tàrrega, TNT, La Casa Encendida, the Santarcangelo Festival, the Terni Festival, Tanzwerkstatt Europa and the Flare Festival. Molar was the winning piece of the Sismògraf 2015 Trailer Caravan.
