SCIENCE AND EVOLUTION
9- 24 November 2023
How much do we know about evolution? What if dinosaurs had not become extinct? Can we recreate extinct species?

DANCE PERFORMANCE
5887 K SUNSET - DANCE DYNAMO
Turkana Films. Spain. 2019. 57'. Documentary
In various cultures of antiquity, every sunset humans said goodbye to the sun believing that it died, giving way to the darkness of the night and the hope that it would be reborn with the dawn.
Years of evolution lead us to understand the movement of the stars, knowing that with each twilight the sun disappears from the horizon because the Earth rotates and will rise again when it has finished its rotation. A knowledge that broadens our poetic vision of the world around us as an inspiration for artistic expression.
Atardecer 5778k is a scenic proposal of dance with a look of scientific dissemination to discover this phenomenon as extraordinary as everyday.
- Creation: Joaquín Sevilla and Carmen Larraz.
- Scientific divulgation: Joaquín Sevilla.
- Choreographic creation and interpretation: Carmen Larraz.
