DYE DYE. Direct, impactful, a melting pot of different stylistic languages. The strikes of break dance blend like ground-to-air incursions on the dynamic lines of contemporary dance. As they dance, the protagonists color, dilute, mix new tones along the way until at a certain point they both find a way to merge into an unpublished relationship. ERTZA’s works raise questions about human and social contradictions, invite the audience, in a playful way, to take an active position in front of what they are seeing, and to think about the contradictions of everyday life.

His poetic research combines the languages of contemporary dance, with urban dance to paint with movement, of the bodies that tell us about new socialities.

Words, movements, emotions, experiences and interactions with other people permeate our essence and fill it with different colors. In the same way, we also impregnate the essences of others with our own shades. The two dancers protagonists of the play then find themselves sharing their palettes of colors, their personal baggage, their lives.

ERTZA. Born in 2004 under the direction of dancer and choreographer Asier Zabaleta, with the aim of opening a new space where you can create freely through the interaction of different artistic disciplines with contemporary dance.
