The Department of Culture organizes for the fifth consecutive year, and despite the adverse circumstances of this year, the Ultramar Dansa contemporary dance festival, the main objective of which is to promote and disseminate the most current and avant-garde contemporary dance that is being done throughout the state.
To this end, the festival's programming has been worked in three directions. On the one hand, to promote professional companies, with the participation of two Valencian companies and one from the Canary Islands, a community with which the festival organization has a tacit collaboration agreement. Performances by new promises of dance have also been scheduled, young professionals who are beginning their career and need institutional support to promote it. Finally, the festival encourages the collaboration of groups that work on dance from the point of view of generational and social integration.
The Ultramar Dansa festival will take place at the auditorium theater of the Social Center of Dénia, from November 11 to 15. A show has been scheduled for each day and, in addition, the screening of a documentary by the dancer and director of the Dénia Choreographic Center, Juan Bernardo Pineda.
Highlights of the program is the show of the Canarian company Nomada Sweet beasts, awarded five Réplica de las Artes Escénicas de Canarias awards in its 2018 edition, making it the best show of that year.
