The contemporary dance performance at the Symphony Hall incorporates both live percussion and electronic music.

 

The Auditorio de Tenerife offers next week Carcaça, by the company of the Portuguese dancer and choreographer Marco da Silva Ferreira.  The contemporary dance show, featuring ten performers, will take place on Wednesday, 18 and Thursday, 19, at 7:30 p.m. in the Symphonic Hall. The tickets are on sale for €15, €5 for the audience under 30 years of age, and discounts are available.

Carcaça starts from familiar footwork, from clubbing, balls, cypher battles and the studio to approach Portuguese folk dances, carrying out an exercise that integrates the past and the present. Thus, the dancers, dressed in tennis shoes and modern costumes by Aleksandar Protic, form a collective that researches their collective identity in a physical, intuitive and unpretentious flow of the body, dance and cultural construction.

In Carcaça, Marco da Silva Ferreira uses dance as a tool to research community, the construction of collective identity, memory, and cultural crystallization. The choreography, which initially starts with jumping footwork as an agitator and accelerator, progressively draws a vibrant, rebellious, and carnivalesque body.

The steps, complex but made with simple sneakers, will bring the sound to the stage and the exchanges between kinetic, thermal and light energy. The physical sounds are accompanied by drums played by João Pais Filipe and electronic music by Luis Pestana. These elements, performed live, constitute a soundtrack that connects references from traditional music (like fanfares and marches), postmodern music, and clubbing music (techno trance and dub). 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 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Check the special discounts for students, unemployed people and large families.
