Festival Sâlmon 2026
Like a mirror plummeting through the window, in this Sâlmon 2026 the point of view shatters into pieces. The theater becomes a cave, and, plunged into darkness, we no longer know where the skin ends and the world begins. Closed and asleep, the eyes dance to invoke all that is not, and the fragile mirage of reality trembles under the vast influence of what could be. Imagination transports us to a place where dreams are shared.
Words, images, and sensations blur the bodies until their form, origin, and gender become unrecognizable. Otherness is the precarious seam that sustains the illusion of identity. All it takes is a tug on the thread for a trail of sequins and colored crystals to spill forth.
Sculpture, film, choreography, drawing, performance, poetry, and music intersect with one another again and again until it becomes impossible to name what stands before us. Yet dance remains here, both on and off the stage: a dance that is as much a celebration as it is a courtship, and where all forms of desire are welcome.
We will feature two legendary pieces that have toured all over Europe but have never been seen in Barcelona: Edurne Rubio’s “Light Years Away” and Madeleine Fournier’s “Labourer”; four Catalonia premieres, two Sâlmon co-productions —Noela Covelo/Élise Moreau and Toni Hervàs—, a week of workshops, performances, and lectures about dreaming communities, and many more proposals that you will be able to discover throughout the program.
