Paula Quintana: Las Alegrías

dANCE

Acclaimed dancer and choreographer Paula Quintana brings her award-winning solo dance piece Las Alegrías (The Joys) to The Coronet Theatre for its UK premiere.

Las Alegrías (The Joys) focuses on joy as a generating, transforming and revolutionary power. An accompanied solo dance exploring joy as a vital and political act, the performance reveals to us the committed leap of an artist determined to let herself be transformed by life and by the stage. Performed in a body of water in the shadow of a suspended meteorite, Las Alegrías (The Joys) is a multidisciplinary spectacle blending dance with the texts of feminist writer and activist Roy Galán.

Paula Quintana is an internationally renowned performer, creating work across theatre, dance and audiovisual mediums. This choreographed installation embarks on a journey through a performer’s body that withdraws and rises, concentrating all the creative, feminine and mysterious power of joy.
