CND NEWS #089EN
June 19th 2020
The Compañía Nacional de Danza (CND) returns to the stage at the hand of the Festival de Granada with a programme paying tribute to the national health workers and for their commitment and professionalism throughout the COVID-19 crisis. The programme also marks the return of Joaquín De Luz, in A Suite of Dances, by Jerome Robbins, and includes Arriaga, a homage to the Bilbao-born musician Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga; a co-production between the Festival de Granada and the CND.

Joaquín De Luz, CND director since September 2019, danced A Suite of Dances for years at the New York City Ballet, his former artistic home. With this piece he returns to the stage for the first time since taking the helm at the CND. And it also marks the entire CND’s return to the stage since Spain’s COVID-19 lockdown. The programme also includes: Festival de las flores en Genzano, by August Bournonville; Love Fear Loss, by Ricardo Amarante and the aforementioned premiere of Arriaga, choreographed by Mar Aguiló, Pino Alosa and Joaquín De Luz.

European Music Day
The Compañía Nacional de Danza (CND) will join all other units of the Instituto Nacional de las Artes Escénicas y de la Música (National Institute for the Performing Arts and Music—INAEM)  to celebrate European Music Day via a streamed event on 20 June.
 
This year’s celebration of European Music Day—held annually to coincide with the summer solstice—offers a variety of new artistic performances employing staging methods in compliance with health-authority measures and guidance.
 
The CND will bring to the celebration its homage to the connection between music and dance. To that end, it will perform the following: an extract from the choreography Love, Fear, Loss, by Ricardo Amarante; "Loss", with the Mon Dieu  adaptation by Charles Dumont and the Afterlove choreography, by Mar Aguiló, with original music by Daniel Sánchez Rodríguez.
 
Afterlove – Where do we wake up? A night-time experience: a metaphorical time that opens a space for the subversion of established norms. Frustrated searches mark the beginning and end of a circle of dynamics: desire, attempts at communication, alienation, ecstasy, deception …  The contemporary bodies vie between need and pleasure in the micro-connections established across distances, mediated by different mechanisms that alter the consciousness of others.
 
"Loss" is inspired by the life and music of the glorious Edith Piaf. Her music was a true reflection of her life. In her youth, her love songs swept the world. For this event, we perform a pas de deux evoking the tragic loss of her husband. The song expresses one of the most intense sentiments we can feel: the loss of a loved one.
 
#VolvemosAlosEscenarios.
With this event we kickstart #VolvemosALosEscenarios, an extraordinary programme with no venue audience, streamed live from INAEM stages to celebrate the return of artistic groups to these spaces and also to bid farewell to the 2019/2020 season.
