THE AUSTRIAN CONNECTION – 1714 Tercentenary Commemoration

Centre and driving force for the movement arts in Catalonia, Mercat de les Flors will participate in the commemoration of the Tercentenary of the events of 1714 from a contemporary perspective. The choreographic representation of 21st century Austria lies at the core of a creative program that draws parallels between two peoples, the Austrians and the Catalans, who in 1700 shared the same worldview.

The Austrian Connection explores the concerns and motivations of contemporary Austrian artists and the possible influence they have had on Catalan choreographers. In order to enrich the research, the Mercat counts on the cooperation of the Vienna Tanzquartier, a dance house distinguished by its multidisciplinary and experimental character, which has led it to relate the movement arts to the visual arts and the world of performance.
