An original creation for the Compañía Nacional de Danza.

Choreographer (and former CND dancer), Antonio Ruz, has returned to our company after a first round of rehearsals with our artists back in July 2020.

This time to start the creation of IN PARADISUM, his first creation for the CND that will premiere on Teatros del Canal from the 8th to the 11th of April.

As a journey through time, In Paradisum proposes a dialogue between sacred and popular music, what’s holy and the mundane, the collective and the individual. A humanistic thought on the concept and search of spirituality in our time. A staged ritual filled with movement, rhythm, subtlety, emotion and energy.
