DANCE

Stanzas, Estancias, is one of the four parts that make up the program presented by the Ballet de Teatres de la Generalitat Valenciana, that has the Mediterranean Sea as its common thread. The Mediterranean is more than a geographical concept, it is a fertile history that has shaped the current western culture. Valencia has starred in important pages of this culture, the city and its people are "pure Mediterranean", a mental space in which the inhabitants of this land recognize ourselves. For this program, the Ballet de Teatres brings together four works by choreographers who share this sentiment and a dance that finds its own identity at its roots: Nacho Duato, Ohad Naharin, Hilde Koch and the choreographer of Stays, Ramón Oller.

The score was conceived first as a work for orchestra whose original name is Estancias/Estances VII, since it presented seven clearly differentiated parts whose components are different ways of music conceptions like melody, counterpoint or energy, calm, etc… seven places or seven ports, seven rooms where the composer has lived and acquired his experiences, but and also seven ‘stanzas’, - the translation could be room, spave to live but also stanza, or strophe, or verse,.... A place to be. A place to rest. A place to know.

For this choreography a new organization of the parts has been carried out and images of the photographer and video creator Santiago Carregí have been added.
