Through this piece, the physical and psychological limits of the individual and the surrounding world are explored. It is a metaphor about the psychological, physical, and emotional forces human beings can approach in order to reach beyond palpable reality, overcome sorrow and escape into the world of the imagination.

The Canarian company will perform Beyond and Bending the Walls at 9:30 pm at the Teatro Principal de Valencia to open the Dansa València, the Instituto Valenciano de Cultura dance festival. They will be on the stage of the Teatro Rosalía de Castro in A Coruña on Friday, the 13th.  

After visiting Barcelona and Málaga, Valencia is Lava’s next destination where they will open the Dansa València 2020.

It is a metaphor about the psychological, physical, and emotional forces human beings can approach in order to reach beyond palpable reality, overcome sorrow and escape into the world of the imagination.

Beyond, by Virginia García and Damián Muñoz of La intrusa, deals with the experience of searching through the emotional landscapes of memory, presenting a scenario of uncertainty that forces us to constantly create or reflect on our own life journey, on the landscape that every individual, consciously or fortuitously, gradually builds.

The dance company resident at Auditorio de Tenerife Lava Compañía de Danza is performing at 6:30 pm tomorrow, Wednesday the 22nd at MADferia, the performing arts fair held at Matadero Madrid. Also, on Saturday, the 25th the group led by Daniel Abreu (Premio Nacional de Danza 2014) is travelling to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria’s Teatro Guiniguada where they will perform the choreography Beyond at 8:30 pm.

At MADferia, the performing arts fair that has been held in Madrid every year since 2004, Lava will dance their latest double programme, which was put on in December 2019. The show was purposefully created for the company while two internationally renowned choreographers were staying on the island: Israeli Roy Assaf and South Korean Dongkyu Kim.

Dongkyu Kim, who worked on the island with his assistants Nara Yoon and Jiho Jang, also a composer, says that “we all make our own sound”. That’s why in Yalacha “sound doesn’t come from the mouth but from life: I live my own life and I make my own sound through the sound of others but, what sound do you make? he wonders. The piece is part of the Jisoo Gook Laboratory Dance Project

For his part, Roy Assaf -who had the assistance of associate artist Ariel Freedman- advises “while watching Hush I encourage you to ignore the unswerving temptation of seeking for the plot; refuse the stubborn need to understand, trust your instinct -being honest and sincere about it- and follow your tender heart, that has a great capacity for imagination”.

MADferia combines the exhibition of the latest performing arts creations in the country with activities related to reflection and providing a meeting point for professionals. It is organised by ARTEMAD Asociación de Empresas Productoras de Artes Escénicas de Madrid and is a member of COFAE Coordinadora de Ferias y Artes Escénicas del Estado español.

Beyond is one of the earliest pieces in Lava’s repertoire and it was premiered in December 2018. It has been chosen to open the annual dance programme of the Teatro Guiniguada, which is run by the Government of the Canary Islands.

It was created by La intrusa’s Virginia García and Damián Muñoz, Premio Nacional de Danza 2015, who worked with the Lava dancers in the autumn of 2018. Beyond deals with the experience of searching through the emotional landscapes of memory, presenting a scenario full of uncertainties, which forces us to create or reflect on our own life and on the landscape every individual shapes for themselves either consciously or unconsciously.

Lava Compañía de Danza is a company resident at Auditorio de Tenerife, a cultural centre under the Cabildo de Tenerife. It was set up in 2018 as a result of the commitment with contemporary creation. It focuses on developing a repertoire of works by internationally renowned artists.

Its artistic director from the start has been Tenerife-born dancer and creator Daniel Abreu (Premio Nacional de Danza 2014) with Dácil González (Premio Nacional de Danza 2019) as assistant director plus Auditorio de Tenerife’s team.

Six dancers with a strong presence on the stage, technically sound and versatile bring the creations to life. The different choreographies share a contemporary dance language and other codes of today’s artistic discourse. Physicality, poetry and commitment.

The company’s repertoire includes works by Fernando Magadan, Roy Assaf, Dongkyu Kim, Paloma Hurtado, La Intrusa or Daniel Abreu, which are high quality, original pieces beautifully put together.

These pieces enrichen and share the curiosity of the existing audience while engaging new audiences through the experience of dance and its context.

Lava is performing their new double programme at Teatro Pérez Galdós at 8:00 pm on Thursday, the 5th. The dance company will put onstage two original creations that were premiered at Auditorio de Tenerife’s Sala Sinfónica last Sunday. They are the work of two choreographers of international scope: Yalacha, by Korean Dongkyu Kim and Hush, by Israeli Roy Assaf.

Both creators were invited by the company’s artistic director, Daniel Abreu (Premio Nacional de Danza 2014), to work with the dancers who currently make up Lava’s dance troupe: Emiliana Battista Marino, Fabiana Mangialardi, Virgina Martín, Paula Parra, Alicia Pirez and Amanda Rubio, who were selected through public notice. These pieces have been expressly created for the group resident at Auditorio de Tenerife.

This programme, which is now travelling to Gran Canaria with tickets on sale on www.teatroperezgaldos.es, displays the versatility and strength of creation for international dance. Israel and South Korea are the countries currently leading the international arena of contemporary dance thanks to their great creativity and command.

Daniel Abreu explains that "turning to these places led us to Roy Assaf’s talent, with his peculiar use of body gestures and the deep, clear message conveyed; on the other hand, Dongkyu Kim is accurate regarding the body and shows quality in movement; his works convey strength, impetus and an interesting questioning of everything human".

Roy Assaf’s advice is that “while seeing Hush I encourage you to ignore the unswerving temptation of seeking for the plot; refuse the stubborn need to understand, trust your instinct -being honest and sincere about it- and follow your tender heart, that has a great capacity for imagination”.

Dongkyu Kim, who has worked on the island with his assistants Nara Yoon and Jiho Jang, also a composer, says that “we all make our own sound”.

La danza, los objetos y la música interactúan entre sí en esta pieza mutante en la que cinco intérpretes construyen su propio espacio escénico mientras se suceden coreografías e imágenes de una poesía que viaja entre el caos y la belleza, entre lo efímero y lo eterno.

Danza en Comunidad, un proyecto social de Auditorio de Tenerife, presenta tres piezas a las 16:30 horas en la Sala Castillo. La función comenzará con dos estrenos: Piedras, creado junto al Proyecto de Mujeres de Añaza Emprendedoras-Fundación el Buen Samaritano, y Viento, realizada por la Asociación de Padres Orobal. Cerrará el programa Adosados, creada a partir de los talleres Martes Danzando en Comunidad y estrenada en Mueca 2019.

Continúa la programación Ehiza, de Héctor Plaza y Agnes Sales, a las 17:30 horas en el hall. Ehiza trata de una lucha de poderes, una persecución constante entre depredador y presa. Un continuo cambio de rol e interacción entre dos cuerpos. Es una lucha en donde toman importancia el uso estratégico de la agilidad, la fuerza y la velocidad.

A las 18:30 horas Janet Novás realizará su Mercedes y yo en la Sala de Cámara. Tras varios encuentros de improvisación en contextos y espacios muy heterogéneos, donde la artista Janes Novás y la compositora Mercedes Peón exploran las relaciones que existen y que se establecen entre su danza y su música, surge la necesidad y el deseo de profundizar, entender, organizar o escribir y dedicarle un tiempo de estudio a la relación entre ambas.

A las 20:00 horas la Sala Sinfónica cierra el sábado con Lava, la compañía de danza de Auditorio de Tenerife, dirigida por el Premio Nacional de Danza Daniel Abreu, con Bending the Walls, de Fernando Hernando Magadan. Esta pieza es una exploración sobre el mundo de las restricciones y limitaciones en la búsqueda de la felicidad, la libertad y la comprensión: los límites físicos y psicológicos dentro de cada uno y el mundo que les rodea.

Liov, de Diego Sinniger, abre el domingo [día 9] a las 11:30 horas en el exterior del Auditorio de Tenerife. Los bailarines se ponen en la situación de necesitar liberar una carga que les incapacita para desarrollarse con plenitud. Al otro lado se encuentra el monstruo: una sombra que refuerza los miedos, impidiendo que nada se transforme. Se debe encarar y tomar una decisión y para eso es necesario salir de la zona de confort y aceptar lo incierto.

A las 12:30 horas tendrá lugar The Lamb, de Kor’sia en la Sala Sinfónica. The Lamb parte de un acontecimiento milagroso, la recuperación de la vista, para sumergir al público en una experiencia cegadora. En ella, cielo, infierno y purgatorio se confunden entre sí y con un prostíbulo en el que cuerpos flameantes ofician extraños rituales donde los roles de víctima y verdugo son intercambiables. En este mundo, para despertar, se necesita cerrar los ojos por segunda vez.

La gramática de los mamíferos, de María del Mar Suárez, se hará con la Sala de Cámara a las 18:30 horas. La neurosis del amor, la búsqueda del placer o la consecución del liderazgo centran la temática de este híbrido escénico, bajo una mirada que desvela un mundo enfermo, estropeado y sin moral. Una civilización que se pierde en su evolución y la esperanza de volvernos a reconocer como animales.

Lava vuelve a la programación con un estreno, 15º al Oeste, de Paloma Hurtado, que se representará en el exterior del Auditorio a partir de las 19:45 horas. En esta pieza el cielo de las noches de verano nos guía, las nubes de arena migran en oleadas rojizas desde el Sáhara, formando caminos que conectan con otros caminos y personas, formando fronteras que un solo paso puede derribar. La espera a veces se vuelve infinita.

La compañía del director artístico de Lava, Cía. Daniel Abreu, cierra esta edición de FAM a partir de las 20:30 horas en la Sala Sinfónica con La desnudez, que interpreta junto a Dácil González y el músico Hugo Portas, pieza galardonada en 2018 con tres premios Max de las Artes Escénicas de España al Mejor Espectáculo de Danza, Mejor Intérprete Masculino de Danza y Mejor Coreografía.
