A plunger, a picture frame, a pillow… apparently ordinary objects. However, in the hands of this cast of (far from ordinary) dancers, we see objects and people transform in front of our eyes. The movements and manipulation of objects are so fluid and synchronized that it seems as if they can read each other’s minds. They reveal to us the grand scenarios, figures, and scenes that these objects hold inside themselves.
„Juegos“ shows us how serious, and perhaps sacred and performative, the act of playing is. The dance is performed by shifting the way we look to objects: through the eyes of a child, inviting us to witness the playfulness as performance, and the ordinary as extraordinary.

The Cuban dance company Danza Teatro Retazos has dedicated its work to the fusion of various artistic forms. It has evolved into a creative laboratory where artists come together—not only from the field of dance, but also from the fields of music, photography, and the visual arts.

The dance company Memory Wax is based in Malmö, Sweden, and was founded in 2004 by Miguel Azcue and Johanna Jonasson. Memory Wax creates dance performances with strong visual impact for children, teenagers, and adults. Their goal is to draw attention to dance as an art form and to promote its role in society.
