Dance in the Vortex – Magazine Teatre Barcelona
Humans have always sought great responses to the great unknowns of existence, but not only of human existence, but also of the same reality: “Why is the being and no rather nothing?” asked by the German philosopher Martin Heidegger. Just as philosophy or art ask these questions, mystique and science try to answer them.
The artistic duet formed by the Catalan Júlia Robert and the British Rudi Cole He has found in dance his way of moving mysticism with scientific knowledge through the body and movement, understanding dance as a gateway to self -fulfillment and the awakening of consciousness. Humane It is the project that houses the creation of the company, but also the training for dancers, and the experience of what they call the “global movement” of people who follow their path.
While all mystical or moralizing speeches (New Age Or self -help) they should alert the critical sense of anyone – and the more than 131,000 followers on Instagram suggest a lot – the interesting thing about Humaniod. This quality of motion is characterized by fluidity and, at the same time, the accuracy of available bodies, as if the energy of the movement crossed them and could not resist, as if there are really something greater than them. Hence a seemingly austere staging – despite the design of lighting and sound space are completely sophisticated – but with high visual and musical sensitivity, focused on the moving body and the community that form the group of performers.
Established in Birmingham, the Catalan-British company will go through the Grec Festival this year with its latest creation, Vortexa piece released this 2025 that goes into the experience of the most turbulent and dynamic point of a rotating flow: the center of natural phenomena such as tornadoes. Between mysticism and science, Vortex represents the intensity of movement that destroys as soon as it transforms, a fusion between the beauty and power of nature, as well as of human consciousness. In the show, which can be seen in the Mercat de les Flors on July 2 and 3, Humanhood dance will become the representation of this dynamic energy, between physics and cosmic, which crosses and transforms us as living things.
