«How many moments of a life deserve a great celebration? Tonight we find out together.»
Matilde J Ciria
CONCEPT
Dance is a celebration of life. Saltare Convivium is the celebration of a life. Of one specific life that is anyone’s life in general.
In every life there exist a series of events, moments or milestones that mark it. Which are the fundamental events in a human life? Which deserve a great celebration?
Matilde J. Ciria and Josentido have not rehearsed what is going to happen. The night is built in real time between the two: a body that celebrates and a sound that accompanies, amplifies, challenges or contradicts. What emerges is a party that can never be repeated.
Part of the Ciclo Danza Cruda.
GUEST ARTISTS

SYNOPSIS
We invite you to be part of a very special gathering where we will discover answers to a great question. The night will be bathed in the finest scenic elixirs available in the Madrid underground.
We will have freedom on silver platters, without cutlery. The maître will delight us with vibrant whirlwinds and the waiters will effusively serve whatever delicacy the imagination prepares.
We invite you to Saltare Convivium.
ON IMPROVISATION
This piece does not exist before it begins. There is no score, no rehearsal, no possible repetition. What happens on stage is born from the real encounter between the artists in that specific space and moment — from mutual listening, from shared risk, from the presence of an audience that is also part of what happens. Each performance is a unique event that cannot be reproduced. What you see tonight has not existed before and will not exist afterward.
