Mugatxoan 2006

The work will be carried out with the help of the Mugatxoan 2006 guest artists: Américo Rodrigues, Marten Spangberg, Elodie Pong, Compañía L’ Alakran, Cláudia Galhós, Agency and Kobe Matthys.

Mugatxoan, yet again this year, is organised around two core areas, a workshop and a programme of performances and conferences that will tackle themes related to appropriation, reality, fiction, facts, fantasy, intangibility…

Twelve people will take part in the workshop that will be run in different sessions. Américo Rodrigues has run the first session at Arteleku and Elodie Pong will coordinate the second to be held during the second fortnight of June. During July, Oscar Gómez-Mata and Agency will run the workshops to be held at the Serralves Foundations.

One of the new features this year is the shot cycle of conferences that will try to examine events that have occurred, from around the space of dance, in the European panorama, from three different points of views, those of  Marten Spangberg, Cláudia Galhós and Kobe Matthys.

Some of the guests involved in the workshop sessions will also showcase the work during the performance programme. There will be pieces by Américo Rodrigues, Marten Spangberg, Elodie Pong, and the Compañía L’ Alakran, along with pieces produced by Mugatxoan. The latter include the work by Alejandra Pombo, António Júlio, Loreto Martínez-Troncoso and Nelson Guerreiro.
