A multidimensional theatrical proposal with contemporary dance enriched with dialogues, suggestive music, voice, light and theatrical means of expression. The show is inspired by the crow, an omnivorous bird of prey often present in mythology and arts. Associated with death, the crow is attributed the role of a middleman between the terrestrial and spiritual worlds.
[Kórps] is a multilingual pun on words: corbs – meaning «crows» in Catalan – sounds like corpse in English. The show is rooted in popular folk traditions and in human practices incorporating violence, vigil and death.
Miquel Barcelona is a cross-disciplinary artist who has had more than 15 years of professional experience as a dancer and performer.
