PSIQUE

Estreno 29 de septiembre 2018 | Auditorio Joaquín Rodrigo - Distrito de Tetuán (Madrid).

Psique, the latest choreographic proposal by Daniel Doña Dance Company is, above all, a reinterpretation of tradition, a present approach to festivities, religious or profane rituals, to symbols, legends and celebrations that have remained throughout time and that, even today, can be found in some areas of Spain.
It is also a recovery work, tracking down tradition in the soul of the Spanish people, an exhaustive research about traditional music and dance, about its survival and permanence; it is an exercise in which we unlearn the past at the same time apprehending it to propel it to the present, in a way that tradition and modernity are interrelated, coexist and generate new dramatic expressions on stage.
Hence, Psique is an awakening to spaces that were asleep in our memories, an evocation of what is deep inside us, a call of attention to traditions that are past and history, but at the same time are extremely present and have endless artistic possibilities construed from the present for the public of today. Antonio Rojas
