la danza

La danza es una fuerza centrífuga
Un laberinto interior
Un círculo en órbita
Un mándala
Un ritual
Una celebración
Un pensamiento circular
Y una reverencia sin fin.

Duggandanza – Aesthetic Concept

Since it’s birth in 1984, Duggandanza has developed it’s own style, combining artistic expressions, investigating and exploring different types of body language, lighting and use of objects.

Thanks to the use of images, movement, music and varied materials, the choreographic creations, through an extensive investigation of lighting and space, create playful and fantastic sceneries where whatever happens on the stage leads towards imagination and poetry.

Duggandanza has received subsidies and co-productions from INT, The National Arts Foundations, the “Centro Cultural Rojas”, Teatro San Martín and Prodanza.
