The Teatre Principal in Palma hostsThe QuijaA stunning piece of contemporary dance by choreographer Paloma Muñoz, one of the most prominent voices in contemporary stagecraft. 💫

Inspired by the Siberian region of Extremadura, the work begins with the image of an arid and devastated landscape to explore the need to return to the origin: the body as an engine of creation, memory, and transformation.

🌀 A dance from the core

The QuijaIt proposes a physical and emotional journey into the inner self. The title refers to theanimal jaw, symbol of strength, resistance and living matter.

The piece is constructed as ajourney between the collective and the individualwhere the bodies on stage seek a poetry that is born from the deepest part: the bones, the memory and the breath of movement.

🔥 Body, memory and creation

The work is part of the projectCÈL·LULA of the Mercat de les Flors, and it relies on powerful stage research that combines contemporary dance, physical composition and an almost ritualistic view of movement.

Through minimalist set design and an intense physical presence, the piece invites the viewer to contemplate the transformation of the body as if it were living matter in constant change.
