At Mercat de les Flors, recent National Prize for Dance winner Àngels Margarit performs From B to B with lauded Swiss dancer Thomas Hauert in a physical, intuitive “exchange” between their respective Barcelona and Brussels, a work born from the mutual admiration shared by the two artists. Meanwhile, artists in residence of varying nationalities at young multicultural dance center La Caldera have devised the cycle Miniatures, a two-day series of short, audiovisual performance pieces; entrance is free though it would be wise to reserve as seats fill up fast.

The week-long Dies de Dansa hijacks the city’s patios, streets and parks with all manner of short, innovating choreographies and is practically a mini-festival in its own right. This year, watch out for Les SlovaKs at the CCCB, whose self-coined “new traditional dance” reinvents Slovakian folk; Turkish-Austrian Ziya Azazi’s modern interpretation of Sufi dancing Dervish in Progress, and Canadians Human Playground, whose Auto-Fiction explores our relationship with cars through a mix of contemporary dance, acrobatics and electro music.

Back at the amphitheater, maestro of modern flamenco Israel Galvan’s La Edad de Oro is guaranteed to be a scene stealer, with all of the originality and re-inventive power the award-winning dancer has come to be renowned for.
