Factoria Mascaró is a dance company made up by eight professional Catalan dancers with the intention of research and experiment with new ways of dancing. In 1998 they founded the company to reach as much public as possible. They are specializing in chlidren and outdoor performances.
It is a dance show about the everyday moments and situations where the water is the element used as a link between the dancer
and the audience. From every usual movement, we make a dance, a simple, logic dance, without ornaments.
The humour is one of its languages. It is a fresh show, because of the water and because of the dynamism of the actions.
We use: umbrellas, a sofa, a dressing table, make-up, hoses, basins for the leaks, champagne glasses; all this elements made of it a close and easy show.
Factoria Mascaró is a group made up of dance professionals who have had an unstoppable upward career. In the constant line of searching for and experimenting with new forms, their original creations are intended to establish a connection with everyday life and the gestuality. Now they are celebrating the company’s 10th anniversary with the presentation of this new spectacle, polished and prepared in a creative residence in London and first performed in June at the Greenwich & Docklands Festival. A satire about man and his natural and urban surroundings. A mythological and fantastic place. A magic and mysterious garden that comes to life when the gates that let people in are closed for the night.
A photographer from Pyrinees would like to take a picture of the Ebre River and the Mediterranean Sea, there, where they hug: its Delta. He travels by skate. And along his route he will come across all kind of celebrations from the territories he is going through. Colors, tessitures and hills and valleys shapes showed on the pictures they will perform.

We intend to reflect, through this scenery, the symbologie of the Romanesque Art. Our goal is not a historic lecture, but to dig deep on this world and discover the wealth of its symbologie.
We have focus on the human essence. We analize the concept of the human being during the Romanesque age.
Sensations turn movement from instigation and improvisation, a movement that take as a reference the catalan dances, and makes an evolution from its start.

Peret Pintor (Peter, the artist) is a character who knows and says lots of songs. He does a good job: looks, listens, dances. He travels across the four seasons; and along his way he would come across colors, which he will stare at, mix, repaint and rediscover new ones.
He would also smell new fragances which will stimulate him. He would enjoy the meals that people would offer him, and he would have a good time and learn dances.

This performance is an approach to a not very known but very interesting side of Joan Miró: how he felt the music, and the effect it had on his live and his work. It shows us his outlook from different perspectives: fine arts, music, mouvement and speech, through the music and composers which he like the most: Cage, Stockhausen, Bach, jazz, Catalan traditional music...
