Stragils is a new physical, poetic and explosive contemporary dance performance directed by Mireia Piñol. Created in collaboration with a fierce collective of five female dancers who take the audience on a journey that explores the paradox of human strengths and fragilities in equal measures. It is a journey through emotions, absurds, love, conflict, and humour, among many others. The piece aims to inspire audiences for change, reflection and understanding. To become a Stragil, is to be a supportive, strong and fragile human being, full of love and respect for oneself and others. Connecting and fighting with the relationship with our built-in and imposed armours. Emotional camouflage, a state of denial and resistance, is juxtapositioned with our ability to accept, care, and understand.Stragils will embody a new desire for an intricate fabric of moods and human survival mechanisms that will help us to thrive and carve out a safer space that we can call our own.
