“Hiraeth stems from a personal interest in human beings and nature, a concern regarding the loss of our bonds with other and with the environment. We ask ourselves where we are heading and if we are capable of directing our evolution towards a more inclusive, more sustainable and safer future; if we are capable of creating a more humanised society. Hiraeth is the search for a place where technology, nature and humanity exist in harmony (…) Can we start again?” Carolina Márquez and Carmen G. Jara
Hiraeth was premiered as a Factoría Echegaray production in November 2022. An extract of the work was semi-finalist at the 22nd Burgos & New York International Choreography Competition.
C-Art Dance is a contemporary dance company founded in Malaga in 2022 by the choreographer Carolina Márquez and the composer Carmen G. Jara. It produces shows for theatres and non-conventional venues, projects that stem from a research of body and sound, from the synchrony between choreographer and composer and from collaborations with other artists.
