NÓMADES is a 45 minute contemporary dance piece created by NOMAD DANCE COLLECTIVE.
NÓMADES portrays a journey in which different cultures, identities and personal expressions converge. A journey that is born from the individuality of paths, in which through raw, unfiltered and honest interactions a dialogue of experiences is established between its interpreters. A conversation that is born from a nakedness of emotions in order to share situations that have violated its members, and in which these individuals undertake changes of skin and nature to try to understand, and in turn empathize, with each other. NÓMADES, therefore, has, intrinsically, a social critique. The piece explores emotions on a physical level, using the body as a medium, and instant choreographic and composition tools to form each chapter.
NÓMADES is the first full-length piece by the NOMAD DANCE collective. It has been a pillar piece that continues to transform with the passage of different places and also with the change of its members.
The piece has performed in Civic Centres in Barcelona (ES) within the framework of the Barcelona Districte Cultural 2024 festival. Additionally, it has been presented in Ecuador (EC) in Guayaquil. First at the León Febres Cordero Art Centre Theatre as part of the Fragmentos de Junio International Festival, then in Manta at the La Trinchera Theatre as part of the Manta por La Danza International Meeting. It has been performed in Frankfurt (DE), at the Sommerwerft Theaterfestival am Fluss festival and in Delebre (ES), at L'Obrador - Espai de Creació.
Nomad Dance Collective is a collective that was born in Deltebre Dansa, Spain. Our collective consists of five professional dancers / performers. We got to know each other in different stages of our lives, at different places and different times. We somehow, by faith, ended up together in Spain in the summer of 2021.
