We propose a space in a laboratory format where, through experimentation, listening and respect for one’s own body and that of others, new forms of expression can be found, both personal and collective. We recognize dance as a very powerful tool to connect with ourselves and with the rest and we conceive this from a place free of judgment and where each person can express and experience freely from their own experience.
We will work with improvisation tools, play, individual and group listening and stage creation guidelines. Also with technical elements such as experimentation with weights, inertia, perception of space, recognition of one’s own body.
Project supported by the Generalitat/Department of Culture and the Barcelona City Council/ICUB.

Sílvia Cepero, Iris Claramunt, and Claudia Auzinger make up El Desvío, an interdisciplinary collective that brings together diverse backgrounds and perspectives to create stage works with a strong visual, conceptual, and socially transformative dimension.
The company is currently developing its new creation, ALIEN, as part of the ALIANSAT 25/26 programme at SAT! Teatre, where it will premiere in November 2026. The project is supported by several creation centres, including Fabra i Coats, l’Obrador, La Cremallera, Teatre Nu, Centre Cívic El Sortidor, and Laboratori Tísner.
Their first work, La (des)espera, was co-produced by Dansa Metropolitana and premiered as part of the festival in 2024. Since then, it has been presented at SAT! Teatre, l’Antic Teatre, L’Estruch, La Casa Elizalde, and as part of the Barcelona Districte Cultural programme (Spring 2026). It has also been featured in the Dança Invisível Festival (Portugal) and will soon be presented at Sala Exlímite in Madrid.
