37Guernica17 is more than a dance show; it is a piece in which performance, images and human relationships merge into a work that does not aim to entertain, but rather to educate, to encourage reflection and, of course, to show a part of the history of art and human beings. As Picasso said, "No, painting, and therefore... the arts, are not made to decorate rooms. It is an instrument of offensive and defensive war against the enemy".
The Fernando Hurtado Dance Company was founded in 2000 and since has not ceased in its activity. It has produced and premiered more than thirty contemporary dance and dance-theatre shows, most of them directed by Fernando Hurtado himself and regularly programmed at national and international fairs and festivals, mainly in Africa and Central America. Throughout its history, the company has been awarded some of the most prestigious national awards. Fernando Hurtado received the 2023 Special Mention Award from the Malaga Athenaeum for his artistic career. Since 2006, the company is the Resident Company at the Nerja Town Hall.
