Luz Arcas and KOR'SIA Bring Contemporary Dance to Compañía Nacional de Danza
The Compañía Nacional de Danza (CND) presented a historic double bill titled 'Struere' at the Centro de Danza Matadero in Madrid, marking a significant shift toward contemporary dance under new director Muriel Romero. The program featured two new works: 'Masa' by Luz Arcas and a piece by KOR'SIA. The performance demonstrated the company's ability to move beyond classical ballet repertoire and beauty standards. Romero, who was appointed director a year ago, had promised a diverse dance program. The event was a sold-out success, with the audience filling the venue. Luz Arcas's 'Masa' opened with dancers lying on the floor, stacked on top of each other like cellular tissue, making a strong artistic statement.
