Featuring guitar teachers and students from the Conservatoire populaire and dancers from the pre‑professional contemporary class of Emilio Artessero Quesada, this program stages a dialogue between dance and guitar rooted in Cuban repertoire.

The performance balances precise instrumental textures and kinetic, communal choreography, offering vivid sonic colours and pulsing movement.
