Sharing a feeling of imminent disaster dancers tell their story using a dynamic, explosive and intensely emotive movement vocabulary. Lugares as a work centred on those situations that inevitably draw us towards chaos, yet it is not a melancholic work, but a dynamic and high-octane dance piece laced with his characteristic irony.
