The market values the quality of a diamond according to its clarity. The more impurities (or inclusions) a diamond has, the lower its price. But it is precisely these small internal imperfections that allow each diamond to refract light in a unique and genuine way.
Very Very Slightly is a reflection on the value of being able to penetrate one’s own imperfections to make them shine. Dance, music and light invite the audience to relish the expressive value of dissolving within one’s internal limitations and moving with and towards the environment, beyond any form or idea.
A show that ends with a party!
Dancer, choreographer and director, Eulàlia Bergadà set up her own company in 2015. Her pieces are characterised by the intersection between live dance and music. Gold Dust Rush earned her the Institut del Teatre Award (2016). Nixie (2018) was performed at the Sala Hiroshima in Barcelona as part of the Inexchange programme. Alongside Marc Naya, she pursues a line of compositional and stage research through voice, electronics and the body. Projects such as Opening Projects, Very Very Slightly and various group workshops have emerged from this initiative. As a dancer she has worked for companies such as United Cowboys, Lipi Hernández and Ion Garnika, among others.
