Animal is a choreographic work for five performers, presented in a dreamlike atmosphere. It explores necessity and desire: a flow of superposed pictures and scenes of physical, emotional answers, of extreme situations, in which instinct appears in the most daily moment of our days.
Without resorting to a classical narrative thread, the work displays images of fighting, necessity, relaxation, love, emotional sequestrations.

Dance performances created by Daniel Abrey (Tenerifs) are similar to journeys, paintings and images in action. Some of the productions are halfway between dance and action. As a performer, he has worked in a variety of national dance and theatre companies and groups in Spain.

He has received a number of prizes, such as: The Jury’s prize for Choreography and the Outstanding Dancer’s AISGE Foundation Prize to attend the American Dance Festival (2005), in the Certamen coreográfico de Madrid, as well as Most Distinguished Dancer of the IV Certamen Coreográfico de Maspalomas. In 2011 he was selected as the modul dance artist represented by Mercat de les Flors Barcelona, Spain in the network of 22 in the network of 22 European dance houses in the framework of the project Modul-dance.
