EMPHATHYTHE ENGINE OF COMUNICATION

PRODUCTIONS IN THEATRE AND UNCONVENTIONAL VENUES

OWN PERSPECTIVE

Their source of inspiration lies in what is  human, animalistic ,  the core of existence and  trascendence. A wide  range of  suggestions can be found in their creations where  a universe   of  contemplations and  communitary experiences can be  felt, thus   inviting everybody to reflect on the world that surrounds us , following their own personal  view.

After a decade  living in Madrid where some of their projects  were originated, among them  Coreographers  in the Conde Duque Community, the company has moved to Santander, its place of origin, having in mind  the stimulation of  the suburbian areas  through contemporary dance.  The company is very much interested in creating new audiences, in order to  reach a greater significance into society, generating  thus a dialogue between citizens and the artits.
