The Paraninfo at the University of Alicante (UA) will host the dance performance 'tÁ' on 10 November at 19:00. This production, created by the company Escena Miriñaque, is specifically designed for children and combines elements of dance and theatre.
Described by the producers as a work where "magical realism comes to life in a forest where the unreal or strange is naturalised as something common", 'tÁ' features two characters who are "peculiar, amusing, and sensitive". Their friendship develops through emotional growth and play.
According to the company, 'tÁ' is "a breath of fresh air that fuses dance and theatre to highlight the importance of reflecting on living each moment and growing without haste". Directed and choreographed by Lorena Fernández, the cast includes Pablo Venero and María Canel.
Tickets for the performance are available on the Cultural Services website for €7. The creation of this work stems from the need to express innate primary emotions such as joy, sadness, surprise, and anger in young children, as well as to reflect on their significance as tools for navigating various situations.
Audiences can expect a show that utilises body movement and onomatopoeia to emphasise not only what is said but also what is conveyed. "'tÁ' opens the door to a world full of emotions through words, movements rich in variations, dynamics, vibrations, and nuances," the producers state.
Ultimately, this performance aims to teach the importance of dedicating time to emotions, which serve to "help us survive, guide our behaviour, and foster relationships with one another," they add.
'tÁ' is part of the Danza a Escena programme organised by Redescena. The Escena Miriñaque company is committed to making culture more accessible. In 2024, they received the National Award for Performing Arts for Children and Youth for 'tÁ'. They have also participated in Feten 2024, the Audaces Circuit 2024/25, the Network of Alternative Theatres Circuit 2024, and Platea 2024. Additionally, they have performed in Bucharest at the Tic Pitic Festival at the Ion Creanga Theatre and in Uruguay at the National Auditorium Adela Reta (SODRE).
