ROSER LÓPEZ ESPINOSA Cometa

“It is good to renew one’s wonder”, said the philosopher.
“Space travel has again made children of us all.”
Ray Bradbury, The Martian Chronicles

In Cometa, an unexpected visitor invites us, through her curiosity and her discoveries, to look at our world through new eyes, a child’s eyes. Cometa is a galactic adventure to rediscover and marvel at the force of gravity, the possibilities of movement and the power of empathy. Geometry, playfulness and the speed of light. The universe, imagination and interstellar voyages. And, above all, it is a party to celebrate that we have found each other!

Trained at the MTD in Amsterdam, Roser López Espinosa has worked with choreographers such as Àngels Margarit, Cesc Gelabert, Pere Faura, Lipi Hernández, Iago Pericot, the filmmaker Isaki Lacuesta, and Marta Reig Torres and Katie Duck in Holland. In 2017, she created L’estol for the Producció Nacional de Dansa and in 2019 she premiered Trama (Critics Award for the Best Choreography). In 2021 she created Cometa with the German initiative for young audiences Vorpommern tanzt an. She has worked as a guest choreographer for international companies such as Skånes Dansteater (Sweden), Zagreb Dance Company (Croatia), MiR Dance Company (Germany) o Scottish Dance Theater (UK), she has also collaborated with circus companies such as  Circ Pànic and Compagnie XY (France). Her choreographic work is based on a strong physicality, with an enormous passion for precision, delicacy, acrobatic elements and detail. Complicity and teamwork come together in an imagined world full of vitality and play, refined poetics and a touch of humour.
