Formentera's Sala de Cultura welcomes "Natatam", a contemporary dance show for kids

The Formentera Office of Culture is pleased to report that Saturday 26 November at 6.00pm, the Sala de Cultura-Cinema will host Natanam, a family-friendly dance show and winner of the 2021 Feten Award for bringing dance to early-childhood audiences. The performance is part of the L'Illa a Escena programme.

In this production of contemporary dance, two performers –or friends...or accomplices– meet in a playroom. There, they discover that water, fire, wind and earth are arranged in order and at their disposal, and the room can become a beach, a desert or the sea.

The protagonists find no shortage of earth and salt, with which they draw on the ground while singing and contemplating the destination of things that disappear. "They converse about the world and people, who are like big fires, little fires and fires of all colours; and they dialogue with speech and also with their bodies in space", the artists explain.

"Natanam" means dance in Sanskrit, and this is the starting point of the show: "To give early-childhood audiences a place and moment for sensations through the purity of dance".
