This is the first creation from young choreographer Gentian Doda for the CND.  Doda has been a dancer in the company since 2003, and his pieces have been unanimously applauded by both critics and the international public.

Arenal
Choreography  Nacho Duato
Music  María del Mar Bonet
Nacho Duato’s choreography was inspired by the songs of María del Mar Bonet. He strives to show the uninhibited joy of the Mediterranean temperament juxtaposed with life’s daily struggles.

Cobalto
Choreography  Nacho Duato
Music  Pedro Alcalde and Sergio Caballero
Duato addresses eroticism from a dreamlike perspective. In this production, created for ten dancers, the music is once again of primordial importance.

The Compañía Nacional de Danza was founded in 1979 under the name of the Ballet Nacional de España Clásico with Víctor Ullate as its first director. The appointment of the prestigious choreographer and dancer Nacho Duato as Artistic Director in June of 1990 represented a significant innovation in the company’s history. Duato’s choreography brings worldwide recognition and praise to the company.
