The festival started in 2008 as the only forum in the country entirely devoted to contemporary dance — one of the most rapidly developing genres in contemporary art that knows no boundaries between techniques, art forms and aesthetics, that turns rules and roles upside down and makes the impossible possible — which is what constitutes its bold and attractive gesture.
Over the past 11 years, the festival presented some of the most interesting phenomena in the sphere of contemporary dance practices, including performances from Europe, Asia, Africa and America, which show different dance trends.
