The Remós Band was born out of the desire to integrate all the users of the El Remós centre in the field of music. It all began with a cross-border cooperation project with “L'Atelier de Musique” belonging to the Association “Les Chamois Pyrénéens” in Pau, France, with whom the first steps of the group were taken. From then on, the group began to promote personalised and group musical education to bring the experience and enjoyment of music closer to people with functional diversity. Today, the Remós Band is made up of 15 people with functional diversity accompanied by three other expert musicians, led by Pablo Lamora, and is already a consolidated music group. Their first CD “Remós todo Band -Los muy todos intrigados”, a set of eight songs composed by all the members of the group, is already available.

They will be the opening act.

Yurdance was created in 2014 and was born from the need to accept and live creatively with the singularities of the body. Its work is based on experimentation with non-normative bodies and translates these singularities into tools for creation and expression.

Lu Chieregati is a choreographer, playwright and performer, and develops her work in the field of the performing arts, producing pieces that focus above all on the creation of language through choreography. She uses the tarot as a dramaturgical and narrative speculation tool, developing a work of image reading that creates parallel narratives to the hegemonic narratives. Her collective readings are a way of creating worlds together and are also an attempt to practice the decolonisation of imaginaries of past, present and future, considering time outside of a linear structure and advocating for a temporality that is constructed with non-hegemonic and situated collective histories.

 They will invite to a collective tarot.
