VEN

VEN is the first choreography by the couple formed by Caterina Varela and Alexis Fernández which began the international career of their company La Macana in 2008 and has been on

tour ever since, visiting almost 30 countries in recent years.

Danced by both, this duo talks about love in capital letters, balance and tension between two bodies throughout 15 intense minutes full of strength and intimacy.
