## The performing arts programme of the UV reflects on the combative impulses of human nature with the slogan ‘Conflicts’

The new performing arts programme of the UV begins on Tuesday, 6 February, with ‘El vuelo de las amapolas’ (Poppies’ flight). It is a theatre show that brings together the voices that speak of life, death, dreams and past opportunities. This will be the starting point of a programme that, with the slogan ‘Conflicts’, will analyse and reflect on the belligerent human impulses in their full extent over the next three months.

All the shows will start at 19:00, in the ‘Matilde Salvador’ Room of the La Nau Cultural Centre. Tickets can be booked 15 days before each show at any of the establishments of the Tenda de la Universitat, both on campus and at La Nau, or on the website <http://www.latenda.es/entrades>. In addition, there will be a colloquium with the company at the end of the play each Wednesday.

**‘El vuelo de las amapolas’** will be the first show of the performances scheduled between 6 February and 25 April. It is a dramatised reading of the text by **José Bohórquez Núñez**, winner in the theatre category of the creative writing competition of the **Information and Promotion Service for Students (Sedi)**, directed by Lola López.

According to the director of the UV Performing Arts Club, professor **Laura Monrós-Gaspar,** the need to deal with this subject “comes from the obvious heart-breaking and discouraging scenario of armed conflicts that we witness nowadays”. She also referred to another reality that is included in the Club’s slogan for the second term, “the domestic, social, sexual and gender conflicts that society suffers in the daily Western life”.

The programme will continue in February with **Komos Companyia Teatral**. Under the management of **Miguel Navarro**, the following plays will be performed: **‘Mostellaria’**, by **Plautus** (Wednesday, 14 February), **‘Las bacantes’** by **Eurípides**(Thursday, 15 February), and ‘**Después de la Tierra’** (Friday, 16 February), a production by Miguel Navarro based on ‘Antígona’ by **Sófocles** and verses of **Miguel Hernández**. The three plays will be performed twice, at 17:30 and at 19:00. Finally, on 28 and 29, **Malatesta Teatre**, under the management of **Paula Úbeda**, will perform ‘**La Madre Coraje**‘ by Bertolt Brecht. It is a metaphor of society in its race to success and the cult of the market and propriety. It is the last show of February.

Likewise, the half-yearly programme will continue to focus on dance and opportunities for the new generations, with the Joven Compañía C-Dansa of the Professional Dance School of Valencia (21 and 22 February), with choreographies by **Riccardo de Nigris, Luis Tena** and **Malena Mexia**. This company will present an attractive project of cultural innovation with a varied programme.

As explained by the director of the Club, throughout March, “as usual, the focus is on women”. Within this framework, on Wednesday 6 and Thursday 7, **EntreTantos Dansa** will bring the history of the Trastámara family and Queen Isabella I of Castile to life again with '**Trastámara**', choreographed and directed by **José Lis**.

Moreover, as a continuation of the homage that the Club has paid this year to the figure of William Shakespeare and to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the publication of his first folio in 1623, ‘**Katherine Macbeth**’, by **Cave Canem**, has been programmed on 13 and 14 March. This tribute to the Bard of Avon began last November with '**Desdèmona**', by El Ombligo y la Pelusa.

April will start with ‘**Nardo**‘ (on 10 and 11). It is a narrative through dance and sound creation that explores eroticism, the altered states of psychotropic drugs and the search for pleasure, with dramaturgy by **Javier Sahuquillo** and direction by **Edu Migro**, performed by the **Migro Danza** company. From 15 to 19 April, La Nau Cultural Centre will host a new edition of the **Festival Dansa València**. All the information about prices and timetables will be available on the website https://dv.ivc.gva.es/en/. The programme is completed with '**La lengua incompleta**' (on 24 and 25), by **La familia política**, with text by **Guadalupe Sáezand** and directed by **Kika Garcelán**.

In addition, **Room Palmireno** of the Faculty of Geography and History will offer a monthly representation, one Thursday of each month, as part of the **Culture on Campus** programme. Ever since the Universitat reopened this space in late 2021, the room has had a stable programme, thanks to the new theatre groups emerged with the extension of university culture to the campuses.

The Performing Arts Club is a university theatre project of the UV that started in 1985. This initiative, directed by Laura Monrós, is aimed at both university audiences and general public and keeps a regular programme during the academic year. It also carries out dance and theatre workshops for students of the Universitat, people over 55 years old and Erasmus students. This club also runs the theatre group **ASSAIG** and **Grup de Dansa UV**.
