The Colors of Water

Starting from “RGB”, a contemporary dance piece characterized by the use of predominant colors on stage, Hugo David proposes to develop a dance video project, transporting the light environments off stage.

“RGB” is an original idea by Jon López and Martxel Rodriguez (Led Silhouette), developed in artistic residency with Companhia de Dança de Almada. It premiered at the opening of the 29th Quinzena de Dança de Almada - International Dance Festival, in partnership with Mostra Espanha 2021.
