Carlos Acosta brings his Cuban dance company back to the Festival Castell Peralada. The program showcases the versatility of talented dancers from both classical and modern dance backgrounds. Folcror focuses on its Cuban roots, full of African, Spanish, Latin American and European influences, and represents the melting pot that is Cuba. The result is Acosta's personal identity where the rich Cuban culture clearly emerges.

Here Carlos Acosta has collaborated with the famous Swedish choreographer Pontus Lidberg in his work Paysage, Soudain, la nuit. Lidberg celebrates youth between nightfall and dawn to a rumba-inspired score by Leo Brouwer. Seventeen minutes of pure infectious energy and Latin footwork set to frantic traditional music.

Soledad, by Spanish choreographer Rafael Bonachela, is an elegant, sexy and emotionally charged duet. It explores the wild and tender sides of a relationship, as well as Spanish roots to the music of Mexican singer Chavela Vargas and Gidon Kremer's homage to Piazzolla.

The evening concludes with Hybrid, by Cuban choreographers Norge Cedeño and Thais Suárez. The energy and skill of the dancers is illustrated while seamlessly blending the African traditions of the Yoruba with a strongly contemporary dance.
