LaMov Dance Company is staging its latest contemporary production, La Delicadeza, at the Teatro Principal in Zaragoza from November 12 to 15.
Presented on Monday by the resident company of the Ayuntamiento de Zaragoza, the choreography is inspired by the creative spirit, freedom, friendship, search for beauty, and transformative artistic capacity of the Generación del 27.
Directed and choreographed by Víctor Jiménez, the approximately one-hour piece does not present a historical recreation. Instead, it uses movement, poetry, metaphors, and symbols to approach the creative impulse of the group through the body. The choreography dialogues with an original musical composition by Jorge Sarnago, combining dance, sound, image, and word with a contemporary view of cultural memory.
The production features a cast of nine interpreters: Imanol López, Ainhoa Fernández, Hugo Martín, Daniela Rodríguez, Carla Royo, Miguel Rodríguez, Verónica Pérez, Klaudio de Armas, and Paula Navarro.
Alongside Víctor Jiménez, the creative team comprises Mattia Furlan as assistant director, Gloria Montesinos for lighting design, Alberto Franco for set design, and Arturo Guillén responsible for costumes. Tickets for the performances can be purchased on the website of the Teatro Principal.
LaMov was established in Zaragoza in 2008 under the direction of Víctor Jiménez, a former soloist with the Víctor Ullate Ballet, Béjart Ballet Lausanne, and the Lyon Opera Ballet. The company builds upon a solid classical foundation to explore contemporary and neocontemporary languages, connecting tradition and avant-garde.
