933 663 198DANCE ON THE RAILWAY TO PROMOTE PUBLIC TRANSPORT
11-18 October 2015 Safe and Sustainable Safe Mobility Week
On the occasion of the Safe and Sustainable Mobility Week, the members of the IT Dansa Jove Companyia of Institut del Teatre performed several choreographies on the Barcelona-Vallès line of Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya with the aim of promoting the journey by rail and, overall, by public transport.
Journeys by public transport, unlike private transport, are a moment of personal movement but also of encounter with others, of connection … where rides, stares and states of mind can be shared. Travelling by rail is an invitation to move in a different way, to have an enriching, pleasant and even full of surprises experience.
Dancers develop choreographic “phrases” and improvisations inspired by different postures, rhythms, ways of walking and ways of moving of the very same passengers, in a positive atmosphere. Their movement seeks to awaken curiosity, and that, in the daily routine, the journey becomes an injection of fresh air and optimism and, at the same time, through the poetry of dance, it brings out emotions.
