Tickets now on sale for the show by Tenerife-born Carmen Fumero and Taiwanese Chang Dance Theatre.
The Auditorio de Tenerife kicks off its performing-arts season with the premiere of the dance show Peces borrosos. This newly created work is to be interpreted jointly by the company of Tenerife-born choreographer Carmen Fumero and Taiwanese artists Chang Dance Theatre. Tickets for both shows, taking place on 6th and 7th September at 7.30 p.m., are available for a single price of €15, and several discount options are offered.
The show is a joint production of the Auditorio de Tenerife and the cultural association Ritmos del Mundo, with the collaboration of Canal Choreography Centre, Eduardo Úrculo Cultural Centre and Chang Dance Studio.
Peces borrosos (Blurry Fish) is a metaphor that brings blurriness into focus. It is about the unsaid; about looking into a pond full of fish that swim in the same way that people go through life: blurry on the surface but deep and orderly at the bottom. From these footprints, the water that generates life and movement emerges. It is at this moment that the lines between walking and swimming are blurred. Something becomes blurry and diluted, but it remains.
Many constellations may be formed within a place, within a pond, and many combinations of colours may come of one union with another. The creatures of this painting appear before us immersed in that great, empty space. However, when we contemplate those fish, their presence immediately brings water to mind: Don’t speak to the fish in the pond about the sea.
Carmen Fumero and Miguel Zomas are the joint directors of Peces borrosos, the choreography of which is directed by Tenerife-born Fumero. The work is to be interpreted by Dácil González, Chien-Hao Chang, Chien-Chih Chang, Ho-Chien Chang, Carmen Fumero and Miguel Zomas. The score is credited to Iván Cebrián, Alfredo Díez is in charge of lighting, and Yaiza Pinillos is the wardrobe designer.
Founded in Taipei City in 2011, Chang Dance Theatre is comprised of four brothers —Chien-Hao, Chien-Chih, Chien-Kuei y Ho-Chien—, all graduates from the Dance Department of the Taipei National University of the Arts. This singular familial bond have given rise to a unique artistic approach in which blood ties are intertwined with artistic language imbued with a sensitivity, collaboration and shared identity. Beyond the confines of the dance company, the Chang brothers are also freelance dancers in domestic and international circuits, and their company has gained a reputation for the creative and interpretative capacity of its members and its promotion of interdisciplinary experimentation. The works of this company feature dance that is sincere and brimming with humanity, in which each piece manifests fragments of their life stories.
The alliance of Chang Dance Theatre and Carmen Fumero Company came about naturally, through their contact at festivals and choreography competitions in Spain and Europe. In 2019, the two companies coincided at a gala and embarked together on a tour of Taiwan and Malaysia during which they began to forge their close relationship. A year later, Miguel Zomas was invited to Taipei City to take part in La Cara, which was their first shared creative work. In 2023, their association turned into direct collaboration in the project Peces borrosos, in which their human and artistic affinity became the driving force of their joint creation. They are united by their shared definition of dance: honest, organic and focussed on the encounter.
