ROJOS

rojos is a performing arts piece about the post-war period following the Spanish Civil War. A contemporary dance proposal that seeks to delve into the memory of the unique settings where it is performed.Post-war periods are universal and common in the memory of all peoples, territories and sides. And the language of dance allows these collective imaginaries to be evoked.
rojos is an exercise in memory retrieval but also a means of expressing dissent and an artistic narrative about those times of silence. And above all, it is a good opportunity to listen, to learn, to make amends and to make visible.

Miquel Barcelona boasts more than 20 years’ professional experience in the realm of dance and the performing arts. He has worked with directors and choreographers including Carolyn Carlson, Juan Kruz de Garaio Esnaola, Raffaelle Giovanola, Darío Fo, Àlex Rigola, Qars Teatre, Cobosmika Company and Laura Vilar. The Miquel Barcelona Company collaborates with people, institutions and projects in line with five core areas of interest: territory, memory, sustainability, education and audience generation. The company has been part of the ALIANSAT project and Barcelona Activa’s CreaMedia Programme. Noteworthy creations are [kórps] and parrà. The company is currently immersed in the tour of the show rojos (in indoor and street formats) and in their new creations.
