There are things in the act of dancing that not even the dancer knows what they are.  They happen for a second and then are lost again in movement.  They emerge, blossom, take shape, are on the verge of being, of signifying, of becoming readable.  When the dancer believes they are feeling it, when the viewer is about to feel it too, the dance continues and dissolves, pushing us all towards the unknown, towards that which cannot be named in the way we are used to naming things. This is the kind of dance that interests Jesús Rubio Gamo, a dance that constantly moves on the edge of meaning and allows us to inhabit spaces where meaning flickers for a moment before suddenly disappearing again, evading us.

This is the new creation of Jesús Rubio Gamo, a Madrid-based choreographer born in 1982 who has been producing his own works since 2008.  He has studied classical ballet, contemporary dance, theatre and literature and was awarded a scholarship for a Master's in Choreography at the London Contemporary Dance School (The Place).  His works have been presented at some of the leading dance festivals in Spain, Europe and South America, and he has been chosen for two consecutive years by the prestigious EU-funded Aerowaves dance network as one of the twenty most promising young dance creators in Europe. His most well-known works include Gran Bolero (2018/2019; Max Award 2020 for Best Dance Performance), which placed him in the spotlight of critics attentive to new trends in contemporary dance.  After bringing Acciones sencillas [Simple Actions] to the Grec Festival in 2021, he created the choreographies El hermoso misterio que nos une [The Beautiful Mystery That Unites Us], a solo piece that was a finalist for the Max Award 2022 for Best Performer, and, in 2023, Txalaparta, commissioned by Kukai Danza.

A production by Jesús Rubio Gamo in co-production with the Centre de Cultura Contemporània Conde Duque Madrid and the 2025 Barcelona Grec Festival.
