Lo Faunal (extracte)

Pol Jiménez is inspired by the representation of Faun in Nijinski's classical dance, and both the performer and the director of the piece, Bruno Ramri, focus on the idea that he is not just a mythological character, but rather a condition. A condition that he shares with Spanish dance, that of constant hybridisation in order to widen its frontiers.

Pol Jiménez is a Spanish dance and flamenco artist who constantly seeks new codes and questions from the contemporary scene and thought to nourish his creations. Despite his youth, he has an intense career as a dancer and choreographer working with companies and choreographers such as La Fura dels Baus, Cesc Gelabert, Juan Carlos Lérida, José Manuel Álvarez and Ángel Rojas. He also collaborates with the musical groups Los Aurora and Maestros de la Guitarra. He was awarded as best dancer at the 2018 Critics' Awards for the Performing Arts and the XXV Butaca Awards.

The activity has been specially adapted for the Santa Mònica exhibition, and is in dialogue with the exhibition pieces in the cloister.
