Basque Country-Amsterdam
Fordlandia (Saturday and Sunday, at 7:30 p.m.) combines the music of composers Jóhann Johansson and Chopin with choreographies by Anna Hop, Yuri Possokhov, Juanjo Arques and Christopher Wheeldon that make utopia and reunion the protagonists.
His choreographies are intertwined through audiovisual projections and reflect how we relate and are forced to separate. In Lacarra's words, it was "conceived before the pandemic locked us in and rounded off at a distance during confinement and with filming on the beaches of Zumaia (Guipúzcoa), my homeland, and in the forests of Amsterdam."
