THE FOUR ELEMENTS
Director PABLO VILLALBA
Countries Spain
Duration 90 min
Synopsis
Rhythm, movement, strength…. For many, dance is an unknown world where you only see the final result. Behind the performance, there is work, effort, and sacrifice of those converting dance into something more than a profession. The Compañía Nacional de Danza, protagonist of The Four Elements, initiates a new stage that entails reflecting on the meaning of dance, a return to the origins. Just as the essence of life could be summarised in the four elements, dance as a universe within, has their own: music, body, time and space. These are the cardinal points marking the vital course of a dancer.
