Dance: Juan Tirado, Marco di Nardo, Diego de la Rosa and Carlos Aller.
"Last Space” is a work which dives directly into the performers deepest stories in the midst of a constant flow of events. When we let the unconscious mind manifest itself, old memories and stories from the past are brought forward.
Thoughts arrive - we let them collapse and freeze, stretch and accelerate, be destroyed and rebuild.
The observer witnesses how everything unravels and merges through an unique, energetic and delicate physicality.
“Last Space” is a journey into the unconscious mind of its performers.
Frantics Dance Company
SPAIN
Frantics Dance Company - We are an experimental dance company that emerged in 2013 from the underground scene of Berlin. The founders are Carlos Aller, Marco di Nardo, Diego de la Rosa and Juan Tirado.
The physicality of Frantics consists in a deep research and merge in various disciplines Bboying, Hip-hop, improvisation techniques, Acrobatics and Contemporary dance.
Our style is a celebration of the human spirit. Of how to break through by representing on stage the underlying mechanisms that dwell inside our psyche. Our signature language is based in a deep study of musicality and characterized by rapid changes, freezes and explosive moves that we use to convey to the spectator our deepest feelings of fear, joy, melancholy, pain and pleasure
In these times of isolation, we at MASH view our alternative Dance Week platform as an opportunity to continue establishing connections across borders and cultivating spaces for collaboration between Jerusalem dance artists and those abroad. Due to the postponement of the Jerusalem International Choreography Competition 2020, we chose to pair each artist that was selected to participate in the competition with a Jerusalem dance artist, initiating a partnership that we hope will come to fruition when they meet next year in Jerusalem.
