2020  Sólodos En Danza Costa Rica

Contemporary Dance International Festival and Duets and Solos Creation Contest

WHAT IS SOLODOS EN DANZA FESTIVAL 

SÓLODOS EN DANZA is an International Contemporary Dance Festival that, in 2020, is celebrated from March 11 to 14 in Barva de Heredia and from October 18 to November 5 in several provinces of the country. The Festival has a program specialized in scenic works by contemporary dance creators, it is also a cultural platform for cultural exchange and cooperation that works with different cultural artistic projects in Europe and America. SÓLODOS EN DANZA generates mobility and collaboration between public institutions, private companies, artists, dance festivals, environmental and social projects related to culture.

In this eighth edition the Festival includes different activities such as, Dance Class Marathon, programming by several provinces of Costa Rica, Laboratories, Workshops, Forums, Performances and Artistic Residences. In the Duets and Solos Creation Contest, which will be held on March 14 in the Barva de Heredia Park, artists from several Latin American countries will participate.

The SÓLODOS EN DANZA Festival in Costa Rica is co-produced by the Cultural Center of Spain in Costa Rica and supported by Iberescena.

It is a Social project, which has to do with opening scenic spaces outside the metropolitan area, spaces that are diverse and socially vulnerable. We bring high quality art to children, young people and socially disadvantaged populations, using the collaboration of neighborhood associations, municipal, independent artists, public and private institutions that can provide logistical support and enable the long-term project. The different collaborations make it possible to boost the culture, a tool for social awareness, improving the quality of life of people. SÓLODOS with this mobility strategy builds broadcast networks, a scenic circuit, supported by the artists themselves and people from different communities.

FINALISTS:

·Años luz / María Soledad Caamaño from Argentina.

Creation and performance: María Soledad Caamaño.

Light years dance a passage of states sublimated by trails of the absent, echoes, repetitions and conjugation with the space and emotions present. The small piece is constructed through buoys: the overwhelming intangibility of what is not and its evocations and the strength of the here and now, of the present materiality. A small window inland within the city, a light that comes on in the vertigo of distances.

·Errante Vagabundo ZuYari C-9190 / Zurisadai González and Yansi Méndez from México.

Creation and performance: Zurisadai González Fuente and Yansi Méndez Bautista.

Spectral class Tholen Type A (Atiras).

 

·Eco’s ... Volar diez mil / Patricia Rivera from México.

Creation: Patricia Rivera.

Performers: Zurisadai González and Patricia Rivera.

This piece is created from the need to build a very particular movement language where the premise is that two bodies share the same axis, that is, try to be the same person, seeking to balance the weight from one side to the other and also achieve that one body can be the extension of the other, thus causing an echo of the movement.

 

·Nadie sale vivo de aquí / Alejandro Chávez Flores and Racso Cabrera Hernández from México.

Creation and performance: Alejandro Chávez Flores and Racso Cabrera Hernández.

Original music: Fernando de Ita.

A moment in which two characters explore the universe of war using the game through imagination. All experiences become an enjoyment to learn to kill and be part of this current universe. Possibility of existence in relation to madness and the human.

·Me fui con tu nombre / Marcelo Javier Guaigua and Lemia Boudhiaf from Ecuador.

Choreography and performance: Marcelo Javier Guaigua and Lémia Boudhiaf.

Text:  Jorge Enrique Adoum.

Original Music:  Pablo Molina.

Fragile and heavy, the body manifests its vulnerability and its abandonment in diverse spaces where it travels in search of new encounters, new ways of perceiving an environment in which time and its materiality inhabit and undergo changes of state.

·+=ES / Camila González and William Retana  from Costa Rica.

Creation and performance: Camila González and William Retana.

Recognize oneself, share with an individual, understand a person from their point of view, indirectly experience the feelings and perceptions of the other; It could result in a reaction.

 

·Se toca con los ojos, se mira con las manos / Ana Viera and Luis Ortega from México.

Creation and performance: Ana Viera and Luis Ortega.

The world changes when two look at each other and recognize each other, love is undressing of names ”. Octavio Paz. The walk of two characters portrays a chance encounter that reveals the busy pace of Mexico City and its contradictions, a look at all those who are not seen.

 

·Construyendo algo que se borra / Rodrigo de la Cruz from México. 

Creation and performance: Rodrigo de la Cruz Abúndez.

Text: Sandra Luz Abúndez Benítez.

Sound space design: Rodrigo de la Cruz
