Acosta Danza will participate in the Holland Dance Festival with a show called “Cuban Eclectico”, from Wednesday, February 8 to Saturday, February 11, at the Luxor Theater in Rotterdam.
The Cuban artists will present a program with well-known works from their repertoire: Fauno, by the Belgian-Moroccan choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Paysage, soudain, la nuit, by the Norwegian artist Pontus Lidberg. The show also includes the creations Satori, by Raúl Reinoso and De punta a cabo, based on the original by Alexis Fernández (Maca).
One of the special moments of the company's participation in the Holland Dance Festival will be the collateral class of Cuban Modern Dance Technique offered by Yaday Ponce, artistic director and Maître de Acosta Danza to the students of Codarts, University for the Arts and Albeda College in Rotterdam.
According to the website of the Holland Dance Festival Carlos Acosta "brings together exceptionally talented Cuban dancers, with classical and modern dance technique (...) The result is Acosta's own identity in which the rich Cuban culture clearly emerges."
The Holland Dance Festival is the only international biennial of its kind in the Netherlands. According to its organizers, it intends to be a sample of the most interesting and controversial dance shows at an international level. With the mission of making this art accessible to all, the Festival organizes a wide range of activities for groups of all backgrounds, generations and social classes.
