MiCompañíaCuban Dance Company

    MiCompañía (formerly Compañía DanzAbierta) is a Cuban modern dance company that translates issues that are from reality into art. The company has gone through three phases, directed by Marianela Boán, by Guido Gali and now by Susana Pous, who assumed the responsibility of being the director and main choreographer. Until 2018, it was known as the DanzAbierta company.

    It was founded in 1988, in Havana, by the choreographer and dancer Marianela Boán. The company ventures into the theater from dance, from a suggestive research work carried out in search of a modern gestural language representative of its country of origin.

    The remarkable thing about this group from Cuba is based more on their way of deepening the movement and on their impeccable work, than on the theme that each piece or work of theirs touches. All of this has placed the company at the forefront of the contemporary dance movement in Latin America.

    Works under the direction of Susana Pous:

    • What can you expect when you are expecting?
    • MalSon, a work premiered in 2008, a piece that had more than a hundred performances and was awarded the Prize of the Second Biennial of Caribbean Dance in 2010, a fact that gave DanzAbierta (now called My Company) the opportunity to carry his work to some eighteen international stages.
    • Showroom brings back the theme of cabaret, an element that is only a pretext to go further, scrutinizing the conflicts that torment human beings. Two related shots are weaving a story of fame and applause, but also of failures. Viewers are only allowed to witness what is made for them. The show begins and ends behind the scenes. Hiding misfortunes is a difficult but controllable task. A fine line in the center of the stage, nuanced by a discreet light, is the path that guides the performers immersed in those two sides of the same coin: the show every night.
    • Welcome, is presented as the revelation of an ‘island without limits and the souls that occupy it with their circumstances’. The welcome becomes a pretext for the small group to reaffirm its efforts to transcend dance and interconnect with other disciplines and / or artistic manifestations and reformulate dance discourses and visuality.
