A Love Story / "Historia de Amor"

SYNOPSIS: 

This is the most recent work of the internationally renowned Chilean theater company Teatro Cinema, well known by their play Gemelos (Twins). Historia de amor (A Love Story) is the third and final installment of a trilogy, following Sin Sangre and El hombre que daba de beber a las mariposas.

Folding 

SYNOPSIS: 

The Shen Wei Dance Arts contemporary dance company was founded in 2000 by Chinese-born American choreographer, director, dancer, painter and designer, Shen Wei, whose work is recognized worldwide. Shen’s talent has been honored with numerous awards including a MacArthur Fellowship in 2007.

“In 2000, the Guangdong Modern Dance Company invited me to make Folding, my first work with them since I left China in 1995. During this period, I was strongly attached to the simple action of folding: of paper, fabric, flesh—anything. Folding combines traditional Tibetan Buddhist Mahakala chants with the ethereal melodies of John Tavener.”  Shen Wei.

This Door is too small (for a Bear)/ "Esta puerta es muy pequeña (para un oso)"

SYNOPSIS: 

The Needcompany returns to the Iberoamerican Theater Festival 2014 after four years; in 2010, during the Festival's XII edition, they surprised the Colombians with The Deer House. For the XIV edition they will take part in the Festival with This Door is too small (for a Bear), directed by Grace Ellen Barkey. Barkey’s productions are often surreal and full of absurd humor and this piece is not the exception. This Door is too small (for a Bear) is a comic contemporary dance performance in which “Grace Ellen Barkey has created a visual idiom of her own that adds to her quest for ‘how to free your mind’, looking for that part of the mind that has not yet been fathomed.”
