What's it about

World premiere of El salto de Butes, a new production by Juan Berlanga (Max Award 2026 for Best Male Dance Performer). Rooted in Spanish dance and flamenco, this original creation for six performers transforms the myth of Butes —the argonaut who listened to the sirens' song and threw himself into the sea— into a contemporary gesture about the limits between reason and desire, norm and dissent. With the collaboration of Niño de Elche in musical composition and direction and Alberto Conejero in dramaturgy, the piece moves from choral to intimate, letting the body be living matter and plastic tool.
