The shows takes place next week and will be attended by the composer and librettist

The Auditorio de Tenerife opens the opera season 2022-2023 with Fuenteovejuna, based on the Spanish Golden Age classic by Lope de Vega. The performances take place in the Symphony Hall on the 18, 20 and 22 of October at 7:30 p.m. The tickets and passes for five titles of the season are still available. The details of the production were announced today [Monday 10th] by the island’s minister for Culture of Tenerife Council, Enrique Arriaga, together with the opera’s composer, Jorge Muñiz, the musical director, Santiago Serrate, and the director of stage revivals, Raúl Vázquez.

Enrique Arriaga recalled that “not long ago the composer Jorge Muñiz received a commission from the Opera of Oviedo Foundation. He adapted the opera Fuenteovejuna to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the work by Lope de Vega with one of the masterpieces of the Spanish Golden Age”. The world premiere of this adaptation with a libretto by Javier Almuzara took place in Asturias in 2018. “The Auditorium of Tenerife will be the second venue to offer the performance of this contemporary work with a very topical subject” highlighted Arriaga.

Arriaga acknowledged that “we are delighted to open the season of the Opera of Tenerife with this contemporary proposal which is in line with the aim established last year to reach everyone: opera experts, young people and those not so seasoned in opera”. The Tenerife Symphony Orchestra and the solo singers are joined by the choir ‘Coro Titular Ópera de Tenerife-Intermezzo’ and the extras. “It promises great success on the stage” announced the minister.

Winner of the European Grand Prize for Young Composers, the composer Jorge Muñiz explained that “programming new work in opera seasons is what we contemporary creators aspire to do in order to communicate today”. “Fuenteovejuna is by Lope de Vega, but its language has been updated by the librettist Javier Almuzara and I hope that it directly talks to the audience”. As for the music, Muñiz highlighted that “they are going to hear hip hop, funk, merengue and even a bolero during the work, but he also talked about tradition, and they are going to recognise characters who are shaped like in Mozart operas in a modest tribute”.

Santiago Serrate will lead the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra as musical director. “It is the first time that I have conducted this orchestra which I have known for a long time. I must say that it is a luxury and we are going to head into this premiere with great naturalness” explained the maestro. For Serrate, “the Opera of Tenerife is a star that really dazzles the global scene. What makes it different is its programming: opening the season with a contemporary opera from four years ago says a lot about the Auditorium”. “The All for one, Fuenteovejuna in this work is very topical because in the pandemic we saw that together we could beat it and the same will happen with the war” explained the maestro. He stated that people would hear live music “that will touch their hearts”. “Our job is not only entertainment, culture educates, it shapes people, and this opera poses very relevant questions” stated the musician.

The stage direction is by Miguel del Arco, winner of the 2017 National Theatre Award, and, for the shows in Tenerife, Raúl Vázquez will be in charge of stage revival direction. “I feel that the Opera of Tenerife is like my second home and I am delighted to return on this occasion with a stage direction created by Del Arco that is very demanding, both in terms of staging and music” announced Vázquez, who added that “I hope the public will not miss the chance to see this work in an opera format because it will not fail to make an impression and all of our work and effort will be seen in this total spectacle”.

The stage design was by Paco Azorín, while the costumes were devised by Sandra Espinosa. The lighting direction which can be enjoyed in the Symphony Hall is by Juanjo Llorens. As for the cast, the soprano María Miró will be Laurencia, the daughter of the mayor of Fuenteovejuna. Her sweetheart, Frondoso, will be played by the tenor Antonio Gandía. The bass Felipe Bou will play the municipal ruler, while the baritone Damián del Castillo will be transformed into the ruthless commander Fernán Goméz. The bass-baritone Fernando Latorre will provide the voice of his assistant.

The roles of the villagers Mengo, Pascuala and Jacinta will be performed by the tenor David Astorga, the soprano Isabella Gaudí and the mezzo-soprano Marina Pardo, respectively. The tenor Juan Noval-Moro will play the magistrate who will issue a judgement on the town. The voices of the soloists will be joined by another thirty members of the Tenerife-Intermezzo Resident Choir.

This opera, in three acts, shows some questions posed by Lope de Vega that have remained valid four centuries later: the united force of a social mass under the repression of the established power and corruption. With this work, Muñiz ratifies his commitment to social issues.

The Carlos Meneses Trio stages on Friday and the Kike Perdomo Quartett on Saturday joined by the 101 Brass Band in the Auditorium’s Hall

The Auditorio de Tenerife is a cultural venue linked to the Department of Culture of Tenerife Island Council that is managed by its island's Minister of Culture, Enrique Arriaga. This weekend, the venue welcomes the 14^th edition of the Canarias Jazz Showroom with two concerts. The Carlos Meneses Trio stages on Friday [7th] and the Kike Perdomo Quartett on Saturday [8th]. At the end of the second performance, the 101 Brass Band will perform a free concert in the Auditorium's Hall. Both concerts start at 7:30 p.m. in the Chamber Hall.

The Carlos Meneses Trío presents a live repertoire with a selection of works from the three albums released to date. Apart from the original works by Carlos Meneses (compositions and arrangements), the experience of having played live together as a trio on several occasions. In addition to presenting the musical content of their latest album "Like one”, thetrio will play songs from the previous albums Sharp Jazz (2020) and “Jazz a.m.” (2021). The Carlos Meneses Trio was formed in 2020, and it is currently formed by Federico Lechner and Daniel González.

Kike Perdomo Quartett presents the latest work, Friendship. Based on original compositions, with a contemporary musical concept and focused on research and the development of new sounds within the world of jazz, this album was recorded in an acoustic format (drums, bass, piano and saxophone) in New York, the place where this musical style was born. The album was subsequently enriched in Tenerife at the 96KMusic studio with several instruments and voices to add a colourful proposal with new textures and sonorous nuances to the final work. The saxophonist Kike Perdomo plays in a quartet format with Nasim López-Palacios Navarro on drums, Ruimán Manuel Martín León on double bass, David Quevedo Fernández on piano and Olga Salud Sáez as a guest vocalist.

After the concert by Kike Perdomo Quartett on Saturday, the Auditorio de Tenerife offers a performance by the 101 Band Brass in its hall with free entry until capacity is reached. As a result of the musical interest and curiosity of its members, this band was formed in Tenerife at the beginning of 2014 using Balkan, South American and American brass bands as references, always with the premise of providing fun and conveying all the possible energy to the audience.

The 14^th edition of the Canarias Jazz Showroom arrives with a great new jazz work that bears the regional hallmark. This year, almost ten projects will be presented on different islands which will finish with a concert in Brussels where the new lines of jazz by regional creators will be showcased. The festival has featured more than one hundred groups and projects who show that the jazz performers and composers of the Canary Islands are in very good health.

The tickets for the performances are available on the website www.auditoriodetenerife.com, at the auditorium's box office or by dialling the phone number 902 317 327 from Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 05:00 p.m., Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 02:00 p.m. The tickets can be purchased at a single price of €15. There are special discounts for the audience under 30 years of age, students, unemployed and large families.

The auditorium’s Chamber Hall Will host the recital ˋMystikˊ, with compositions by Bach and Messiaen at the service of religious solemnity

The Auditorio de Tenerife is a cultural venue linked to the Department of Culture of the Tenerife Island Council that is managed by its island's Minister of Culture, Enrique Arriaga. The venue has programmed a concert for two pianos next Tuesday [the 4^th of October] with the Tenerife-born pianist Esther Ropón and the German Ernst Surberg. The programme, entitled Mystik, begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Chamber Hall.

Johann Sebastian Bach and Olivier Messiaen join hands in this recital whose common denominator is music at the service of spirituality and religious solemnity. Just over 200 years separate the life trajectory of both composers, united in this programme by their unconditional mysticism.

The performance begins with three transcriptions of the choral preludes and cantatas written by the master from Leipzig and arranged for piano four hands by the Hungarian composer and pianist György Kurtág, all of them a faithful reflection of his unwavering faith and his transcendent vision between the earthly and the spiritual.

Olivier Messiaen, for his part, manifests a mystical sense of communion with nature. Written in 1943 during the occupation of France, Visions de l'Amen consists of seven ecstatic meditations for two pianos on biblical verses ranging from Genesis to Revelation. A driving theme that Messiaen himself called "the theme of creation" acts as a unifying element that runs through the entire work, from its beginning, Amen de la création, with grandiose and solemn chords, to Amen de la Consommation in a long chorale of final glory. 

Two composers who reaffirm the human and spiritual values of music through a strongly polyphonic language, solid sonorities and a moving expressiveness with two identical instruments, where it is not the contrast of two different timbres that comes into play, but the dialogue between the human being and the divinity.

The tickets are available on the website www.auditoriodetenerife.com, at the auditorium's box office or by dialling the phone number 902 317 327 from Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 05:00 p.m., Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 02:00 p.m. Check the special discounts for the audience under 30 years of age, students, unemployed and large families.

ˋThe very last northern white rhinoˊ, by the Argentinean choreographer Gaston Core with the dancer and model Oulouy, will take place this Friday

The festival FAM Otoño shows on Friday [the 30th Sept.] at 8 p.m. at the Espacio La Granja the solo The very last northern white rhino, by the Argentinean choreographer Gaston Core. The dance programme of Auditorio de Tenerife, a cultural venue linked to the Department of Culture of the Tenerife Island Council that is managed by its island's Minister of Culture, Enrique Arriaga, proposes this show starring the Ivorian model and dancer Oulouy.

This piece emerged out of the news of the death of the last northern white rhino, leaving a mother and its daughter as the last members of its species, with no chance of continuing. When New York Times reporter Sam Anderson learned of the death of the last male northern white rhino, he flew to Kenya to spend a week with the only survivors of the species. 

Two females, mother and daughter, entered what is known as "functional extinction: when they die, the lineage will have ended. Anderson describes the daily life of Fatu and Najin who, indifferent to their fate, graze under the sun of the reserve where they will be kept safe from poachers until their death. 

This image highlights life for life's sake since the only function of these individuals is to live and account for a species that is already a part of the past. Gaston Core imagines these hulking mammals as terribly fragile: their bodies as irreplaceable as pieces from a living museum. 

Knowing that the northern white rhino will disappear with them, we no longer see just a safari animal but a terrifyingly human creature that confronts us with ourselves. For Core, "the fact that they are and occupy space is a testimony that makes the individual a symbol of his species; man, a symbol of man”. 

Through formal research on different styles of urban dance, Core offers in this piece the image of the man who dances until exhaustion because there is, perhaps, nothing else that can be done. In other words, this piece presents dance as excess, as a celebration stemming from life.

“This image of the last two northern white rhinos brought me much peace at a time of great uncertainty for the world, like when at the end of "Melancholia" by Lars Von Trier, Kirsten Dunst's character builds the structure of a tipi without walls to take refuge with her nephew and sister and wait for the meteorite to collide with the Earth.

On 21 October at 7:30 p.m. the next appointment to enjoy the Arts and Movement Festival will take place at the Castillo Hall (Sala Castillo) of the Auditorio de Tenerife, staging the scenic work Parece nada (Not at all), by Guillermo Weickert. Based on an attempt to place the organ of perception (the eyes) as the perceived object (viewed), he proposes an exercise of taking another look at the stage, those who inhabit it and their movements as a testing ground.

FAM (Arts and Movement Festival), a proposal of Auditorio de Tenerife and a commitment to Spanish contemporary dance, comes alongside the artistic circuit supported by the National Institute of Performing Arts and Music (INAEM) and developed by the Spanish Network of Theatres: Danza a Escena 2022.

The tickets are available on the website www.famtenerife.com, at the auditorium's box office or by dialling the phone number 902 317 327 from Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 05:00 p.m., Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 02:00 p.m. Some shows have age recommendations, which can be consulted on the website. Check the special discounts for the audience under 30 years of age, students, unemployed and large families.

The pianist Andrei Korobeinikov will be the guest soloist for this occasion and will sign his first performance with the Council orchestra

Today (Tuesday 27) the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra started rehearsals ahead of the concert that is staging this Friday (30th) at 7:30 p.m., in the Auditorio de Tenerife in a program formed by works by Mahler, Saint-Säens, Ravel and Strauss that will address five different interpretations of death. The work sessions were affected by adverse weather which prevented the guest conductor, Jaume Santonja from landing on the island. In this third concert of the 2022-2023 season, the orchestra will perform Totentanz by Franz List for the first time, which will involve the participation of the pianist Andrei Korobeinikov as a soloist. 

The concert will begin with Totenfeier, the symphonic poem in C minor for orchestra by Gustav Mahler. Written in 1897 based on the verses of the Pole Adam Mickiewicz, the Austro-Bohemian composer describes a shadowy journey through the deepest doubts of human beings faced with this inescapable event.

Totentanz, S. 126, fantasy for piano and orchestra, is an unprecedented register in the history of the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra. Written over almost 20 years by Franz List, this musical score recreates, in a hypnotic atmosphere, the fatal attraction that all human beings experience towards death. Even in its gloomy development, the demanding technical mastery of playing the piano stands out, which will contribute flashes of light through a range of colour, texture and expressiveness.

In the second part of the concert, the orchestra will begin with Danse macabre, op. 40 by Camille Saint-Säens, a piece based on a medieval tradition that represented death dancing with different people from the wealthiest classes to remind them that the end will be the same for everyone. Premiered in Paris in 1875, the violin solo known in the Middle Ages and in the Baroque period as “diabolus in musica”, announces the start of a macabre instrumental choreography. 

Pavane pour une infante dèfunte, by Maurice Ravel, is the fourth piece of the evening. In it, the French composer looks at the music of the Spanish court during the Baroque period. He used it as inspiration to recreate the Pavane dance, a slow processional dance that enjoyed great popularity between the 16th and 17th centuries with simple writing that isn't however lacking the modernity, colour and elegance of Ravel.

The concert will end with Death and Transfiguration, TrV 158, op. 24 by Richard Strauss, a symphonic poem written when he was barely 24 years old and in which he addresses the last living moments of a person. The composition evokes how the main events in life pass before their eyes, from the innocence from childhood, to the suffering of adulthood, leading to a Moderato that represents the eagerly-awaited entry into a life beyond the physical world.                                                                                                                     

The conductor Jaume Santonja, recently named associate conductor of the Basque National Orchestra

 and Principal Guest Conductor of the Milan Symphony Orchestra is once again conducting with the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra after his last appearance on 4 June last year. Santonja has also raised the baton in front of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra as an assistant conductor, and he is also regularly invited to conduct the main Spanish groups, such as the National Orchestra and Choir of Madrid, Euskadiko Orkestra, Philharmonic Orchestra of Málaga, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Galicia or the Orchestra of Valencia. 

Internationally, he has also recorded his presence in renowned groups, for example, the Symphony Orchestra of Milan LaVerdi, Philharmonic Orchestra of South Holland, Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestra of Opera North (Leeds) and the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra.

In 2020 the Valencian maestro participated in the exclusive masterclasses of Iván Fischer and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam after a selection process among the most promising conductors. 

The guest conductor for this concert, Andrei Korobeinikov, took his first piano classes when he was barely five years old, and gave his first performance just three years later. After graduating from the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory, he received the distinction of “Best Musician of the Decade”, he completed his studies with a postgraduate degree at the Royal College of Music in London.

More than 20 international awards stand out in his musical career, notably including First Prize in the Scriabin International Piano Competition in Moscow and Second Prize and Audience Prize in the Rachmaninov International Piano Competition in Los Angeles (2005). 

He currently performs with the world's main orchestras, such as the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Budapest Festival Orchestra, Konzerthausorchester Berlin, NHK Symphony Orchestra, St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre National de France, Orchestre de Paris and the Wiener Symphoniker.

The tickets for this third concert of the season can be purchased until the day of the concert on the website web www.sinfonicadetenerife.es, at the auditorium's box office and by dialling the phone number 902 317 327 from Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Suspendido el concierto 'Cyberpunk Remastered (Vol. 2)–El alma de la máquina' y el espectáculo de danza 'Cossoc'

En base a la alerta máxima decretada por el Gobierno de Canarias, Auditorio de Tenerife suspende la actividad programada para el sábado 24 de septiembre, que incluye el concierto Cyberpunk Remastered (Vol. 2)–El alma de la máquina y el espectáculo de danza al aire libre Cossoc, de Magí Serra & Anamaria Klajnšček. Además, quedan igualmente suspendidos en lo que dure la alerta los servicios de Auditorio de Tenerife: cafetería, parking, taquilla y recepción.

La devolución del importe de las entradas de Cyberpunk Remastered (Vol. 2)–El alma de la máquina se hará efectiva a partir de la próxima semana de la misma manera en que se realizó la compra sin necesidad de solicitarlo. Si las localidades fueron adquiridas online por nuestra web o en taquilla por datáfono, la devolución se hará automáticamente en la misma cuenta bancaria; en cambio, si la compra se llevó a cabo con dinero en efectivo, tendrá que acudir a taquilla cuando termine la alerta en horario de lunes a viernes de 10:00 a 17:00 horas y sábado de 10:00 a 14:00 horas, excepto festivos.

Esta decisión no afecta al concierto Fimucité 16 programado para hoy a las 19:30 horas, Cyberpunk Remastered (Vol. 1)–Manga/Anime, que se desarrollará con normalidad.

The Catalonia-born dancer Magí Serra and the Slovenian dancer Anamaria Klajnšček present the duet Cossoc at 7:00 p.m.

The Auditorio de Tenerife is a cultural space linked to the Department of Culture of Tenerife Island's Council that is managed by its island's Minister of Culture, Enrique Arriaga. On Saturday 24th of September at 7:00 p.m. it offers a dance duet outdoors within the framework of the FAM Otoño (Autumn Moving Arts Festival). The performance Cossoc takes places outside the cultural centre with free admission until full capacity is reached.

The show by Magí Serra and Anamaría Klajnšček features hypnotic choreography full of suggestive images of what two bodies in constant balance can do. It is a research initiative on the complexity and simplicity of a relationship; a window of observation and curiosity for the viewer; a blurred boundary between public and private.

Establishing an intimate relationship, the two performers form a strong connection; a place where they can challenge their environment and become one with space. The piece brings the public down a path of silence and reflection. Perhaps the piece is nothing more than the search for a place to find yourself easily.

Magí Serra and Anamaria Klajnšček met in 2018 as part of the creative process of Tramaby Roser López Espinosa. In 2019 they began a creative process that ended with the creation of Cossoc in 2021, their first long project thanks to the co-production of the Fair of Tàrrega and El Graner, which emerged out of their shared interest to take dance out of the usual space of a theatre. Since then, they have performed in both international contexts as well as in local programmes for audiences of both adults and children. In addition to the duo, they have created a video dance that is currently touring around different festivals of this kind, and they also do workshops on their partnering proposal.

FAM Otoño is offering several shows that will take place between September and December on the stages of the Auditorium of Tenerife and at the La Granja Space of the Government of the Canary Islands, where the next dance event takes place. It will be on 30 September at 20:00 with the solo The very last northern white rhino, by Gaston Core. Performed by the dancer Oulouy, this piece emerged out of the news of the death of the last northern white rhino, leaving a mother and its daughter as the last members of its species, with no chance of continuing.

The Moving Arts Festival is an initiative by the Auditorium of Tenerife for contemporary Spanish dance, which comes alongside the art circuit promoted by the INAEM (Spanish National Institute for the Performing Arts and Music) and developed by the Spanish Theatre Network: Dance on Stage 2022. All information available at www.famtenerife.com.

The programme will feature musicians Marco Rizzi, Ana Liz Ojeda, Julia Gartemann, Macarena Pesutic and Enrico Bronzi

The Auditorio de Tenerife is a cultural space linked to the Department of Culture of Tenerife Island's Council that is managed by its island's Minister of Culture, Enrique Arriaga. On Thursday 22nd of September at 7:30 p.m. it offers a concert by the Tenerife Viola Masterclass Ensemble. The programme takes place at the Chamber Hall with works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonín Dvořák.

One hour before, at 6:30 p.m., there will be a prior presentation that will provide context for the group and the programme to be performed. It will be given by Juana María Bolaños Polegre, a pupil in the Department of Musicology at the Higher Conservatoire of Music of the Canaries, and it will take place in the Avenida Hall, next to the Chamber Hall, with free entry until the capacity is full.

The quintet will be formed by Marco Rizzi, a prize-winner at prestigious international competitions such as the Tchaikovsky and Queen Elizabeth competitions, and now a professor in the Telefónica Chair of Violin of the Reina Sofía Higher School of Music in Madrid. Also, Ana Liz Ojeda, a violinist in the Accademia Bizantina since 2012 and a specialist in the historically-informed performance of the repertoire of the 17th and 18th centuries. 

On the viola will be Julia Gartemann, professor at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler and member of the Berlin Philharmonic since 2000; and Macarena Pesutic, artistic director of the Tenerife Viola Masterclass, winner of the RWE Competition in Leipzig and of the Music Teachers National Association, and professor at the Higher Conservatoire of Music of the Canaries since 2005. The quintet is completed by Enrico Bronzi, cellist in the Trio di Parma and professor at the Universität Mozarteum in Salzburg since 2007.

The first part of the programme will be the String Quintet No.4 in G minor, K.516 by Mozart, composed in 1787. Bolaños states that “it is divided into four movements, imbued with an unsettled, dramatic and melancholic character, except for the allegro of the fourth movement, in the form of a relaxed rondo and G major, that the work finishes in”. Mozart was a pioneer in the creation of music for this chamber group, most common in the 19th and 20th centuries. 

After the interval, there will be a performance of Dvořák in E-flat major, Op. 97, in memory of his days in Spillville, Iowa, where he came into contact with the music of the Native Americans, as reflected in the marked rhythmic character of the work and in the occasional use of pentatonic scales. “With certain connections to the New World Symphony and the American Quartet, composed that same year, Dvořák gives the viola a key role in the most lyrical moments of the work, as well as its solo opening” analyses the pupil from the Conservatoire.

The tickets can be purchased at a single price of €15 on the website www.auditoriodetenerife.com, at the auditorium's box office or by dialling the phone number 902 317 327 from Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. There are special discounts for the audience under 30 years of age, students, unemployed and large families.

The tickets are sold out for this show titled ˋTRES de ballet triádicoˊ that takes place in a set that resembles an iglu

The Auditorio de Tenerife is a cultural venue linked to the Department of Culture of Tenerife Island Council that is managed by the island's Minister of Culture Enrique Arriaga. On Saturday, 17 September, the venue launches the theatre festival FAM Otoño with the company Taiat Dansa. The Valencia company presents TRES de Ballet Triádico. Both sessions (at 6 pm and 8 pm) of this immersive show take place in a set that resembles an iglu. The tickets for both performances are sold out. 

Through this piece, Meritxell Barberá & Inma García, choreographers from the company, tackle their desire to explore the possibilities and the visual, aesthetic, spatial, and performance revolution behind Oskar Schlemmer's Triadic Ballet (he is a German artist related to the Bauhaus School. The idea is to propose a new, contemporary view of this emblematic cog of the history of art - something which was crucial for the visual arts but had little influence on the history of dance, choreography, and the moving arts.

The term triadic is related to number three, the most important and dominant number according to Oskar Schlemmer, who defends that the concept of "the collective" begins with this number after overcoming the self and the concept of "dualism". That is exactly the point that the choreographers of Taiat hash out alongside Brazilian choreographer Ismael Ivo and Frenchman Rachid Ouramdane, bringing us a piece directed by Taiat Dansa but choreographed by the three parties in which each one is in charge of a choreographic sequence so as to compose the three parts of this performance.

Three dancers, three choreographers, and three sequences on stage. Shape, colour, space. The three dimensions of the space: height, width, and depth. The basic shapes: sphere, cube, and pyramid. Three colours: yellow, pink, and black. Dance, costumes, and music. All of these are the ingredients featured in TRES de Ballet Triádico.

The piece has the same length as the original ballet, that is 40 minutes. It can be seen in two different performances in small groups of people who will be seated on cushions at floor level, accessing the space that the company has designed to contain and recreate its version of the triadic ballet.

The theatre festival FAM Otoño offers seven shows that will take place between September and December on the stages of the Auditorio de Tenerife and the Espacio La Granja. The next dance event takes place outside the Auditorio de Tenerife at 7:00 p.m. with the proposal by the Catalan dancer Magí Serra and the Slovenian dancer Anamaria Klajnšček. Cossoc is a dance duet, a hypnotic choreography which displays the complexity and simplicity of a relationship.

FAM (Arts and Movement Festival), a proposal of Auditorio de Tenerife and a commitment to Spanish contemporary dance, comes alongside the artistic circuit supported by the National Institute of Performing Arts and Music (INAEM) and developed by the Spanish Network of Theatres: Danza a Escena 2022.

They take place in educational and cultural centres during the school year and offer theatrical training to children, youth and adults. The aim is to foster a quality artistic hobby and to contribute to the cultural development of the social environment. All teachers have a degree in performing arts by the school of performing arts of the Canary Islands (Escuela de Actores de Canarias).

Theatre is important to contributing to the cultural identity of a community, it nurtures expressive values for interpersonal relations and encourages social participation. Likewise, it provides resources and tools that are useful for coping with real life (overcoming shyness, the ability to talk in public, assimilation of the feeling of a social role...). Theatre also boosts social skills that are acquired with group work, such as cooperation, tolerance, responsibility, respect and solidarity.
