Paloma Muñoz’s production will be presented on Tuesday 7 July in the Symphony Hall, as part of MAPAS

Next Tuesday, 7 July, the Auditorio de   Tenerife will host Paloma Muñoz’s company and its performance of La Quijá, where ten dancers return to origins and the body as the engine of creation to find poetry in movement. The show will be staged in the Symphony Hall at 7.30 p.m. as part of MAPAS 2026.

The piece by Paloma Muñoz opens with a devastated, rugged, dry landscape. The ten dancers undertake an inward journey to the substance in our bones, so dance may emerge from the marrow. It is a return to the collective body in search of a personal and shared encounter. The show is part of Cèl·lula, a project for producing, creating, and transmitting dance at the performing-arts centre Mercat de les Flors.

The performers on stage in the Symphony Hall are Edoardo Brovardi, Joan Ferré Gómez, Alejandro Fuster Guillén, Jacob Gómez Ruiz, Lara Misó Peinado, Paula Parra, Marta Santacatalina, Wilchaan Roy Cantù, Amanda Rubio and Blanca Tolsá.

Paloma Muñoz is a choreographer and dancer born in Extremadura and residing in Barcelona. She holds a degree in choreography and interpretation from the Conservatori Superior del Institut del Teatre of Barcelona. As a dancer, she has worked in IT DansaMetros, Ramon Oller, Thomas Noone Dance and Norrdans. In 2016, she launched her own company, Siberia, with the work La piel vacía (Empty skin), which was among the finalists of the Premi de Dansa del Institut del Teatre awards and won several choreographic competitions, including the Choreographic Competition of Madrid and the CICC Copenhagen International Choreography Competition. The company toured internationally with DanceNet Sweden and received the 2022 Bern Dance Award.

In March 2021, she premiered L.E.V.E., a Light and Easy Vanishing Event, at Teatre Auditori de Sant Cugat, coproduced by La Quinzena Metropolitana de la Dansa. In 2022, the work was performed at Mercat de les Flors and the Madrid en Danza festival. Paloma now combines her work in her company, Siberia, with freelance choreographic engagements with European companies. In March 2023, she premiered The Station for Theatre Münster, and in the 2024-25 season, Paloma was a guest choreographer of Tanz Bielefeld (Germany).
