Just say dance and contemporary together with children and families; then, add new audiences to quality and innovation, and you will get the obvious: Aracaladanza.
Since 1994, Enrique Cabrera, the heart and soul of the project, has helped the company become an indispensable part of the Spanish art scene and win critical and public acclaim.
Invited to participate in the most important national and international festivals, their creations have been showcased in the best theatres in Europe, Africa and Asia. In the last few years, the company has lifted the curtain more than 1,500 times and their shows have been seen by nearly a million spectators.
Aracaladanza is well known for its unusual working method, its innovative sets and scenery and its exquisite shows for children and teenagers. Through costume design, music, rhythm and movement they manage to engage the adult spectator in a fantastic world that has some of the qualities of dreams.
Open, respectful and attentive, Aracaladanza strives for artistic and business excellence without forgetting their spirit: to offer shows that contribute to the joy and happiness of society.
The company received the National Theatre Award in 2010 for their
"commitment" to young audiences and for their "artistic, aesthetic
and technical proficiency", also various prizes at FETEN (European Theatre
Fair for young boys and girls) and several Max (annual prizes for the performing arts in Spain).
Prestigious venues and festivals such as Sadler's Wells in London, Mercat de les Flors and GREC Festival in Barcelona, Tenerife's Auditorium, Teatro de la Abadía in Madrid or Lakeside Arts Centre in Nottingham are some of their usual partners.
