Summary: 
Fugas reflects on the relationships between the group and individual, what unites them likewise their discrepancies. Links, migrations and sculptural compositions are the inspiration. Choreographer Matxalen Bilbao has aimed to find herself, follow and represent a group scene that will undergo different situations. 
Through this dance piece for urban spaces she continues to delve into the idea of group already undertaken in Gear, her previous work, created on images of gears, migrations and sculptural compositions as creation sources.
Taken from another perspective, Fugas (Best Dance Choreography 2018 at La Espiral Contemporánea Festival) formulates new ways to relate, articulates different kinds of dependence and unfolds various situations under the same “Group” concept. Bach and Chopin’s music serve as creative triggers to put together a timeless atmosphere where classic references contrast with today’s.
This staging is part of AZzabalik. Meeting Around Artistic Creation with which Azkuna Zentroa opens the 2023-2024 programme along with the new edition of eszenAZ, the Azkuna Zentroa – Alhóndiga Bilbao Performing Arts Season.
