Spanish choreographer Iván Pérez has created the work for Dance Theatre Heidelberg, to be performed this Friday
The Auditorio de Tenerife will close this year’s Mapas festival with a performance by Dance Theatre Heidelberg in the Symphony Hall. The German company presents Bodies of Water, choreographed by its Artistic Director, the Alicante-born Iván Pérez. The single performance takes place on Friday 24 July at 7.30 p.m. Tickets are priced 15 euros, with a reduced price of 5 euros for those under 30.
Featuring ten international dancers, Bodies of Water explores the deep physical and emotional relationship between humans and water. Through a choreographic journey of remarkable sensory intensity, the work, which premiered in January this year, immerses audiences in the water’s transformative power while posing fundamental questions: What invisible connections shape our existence? How can bodies of water inspire movement and dance?
Directed by Spanish choreographer Iván Pérez, Dance Theatre Heidelberg (DTH) brings together an international ensemble of dancers and creates works of striking emotional intensity in which choreography enters into dialogue with original music, scenography, and a strong theatrical sensibility. The company has earned widespread acclaim for its bold artistic proposals and visually compelling productions.
A former dancer with the renowned Nederlands Dans Theatre, Iván Pérez has led Dance Theatre Heidelberg since 2018. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with leading composers and designers, and he has choreographed works for world-class companies, including the Paris Opera Ballet, Balletboyz, the Compañía Nacional de Danza and Nederlands Dans Theater. His works are acclaimed for their musicality, sensitivity and poetic stage language, balancing strength and vulnerability of their performers with remarkable expressive power.
Over the years, DTH has developed a distinctive artistic identity, characterised by physical intensity, theatrical expressiveness and a profound connection with music. Its repertoire ranges from large-scale productions with orchestras to collaborations inspired by fields such as of fashion and science. All of this establishes Heidelberg as one of Europe’s leading centres for innovation in contemporary dance.
