The MAPAS project opens a window to decisive international languages of the contemporary scene. This year, it specifically targets dance. MAPAS (Spanish acronym for Market of Performing Arts of South Atlantic) offers an international dance programme that provides an aesthetic review of great intensity. The pieces explore the body as emotional, theatrical and narrative material. This approach allows the creation of a curation-focused itinerary. It offers readings in a single programme of contemporary responses to a single question: what can a body do onstage today when facing the intimate, the collective, the fictional, and the passage of time?
In this way, MAPAS enhances this season’s offerings of the Auditorio de Tenerife with a mechanism of contrast and continuity. It presents a concentration of international languages that engage in dialogue with the creation of territory. This approach strengthens our understanding of the ecosystem concept. MAPAS is not only about presenting international excellence but also activating a framework for interpretation. In this framework, Canarian dance—and the accompanying processes over the year, including artist residencies—aligns itself directly with some of the most relevant approaches of the contemporary scene. These approaches include extreme physicality, expanded playwriting, hybridisation with theatre, and tradition reformulated as contemporaneity.
