It is a solo dance and performative piece that explores a constant dialogue between the primary language of traditional Catalan dance and various techniques of contemporary dance.
Melody and popular dance appear in L'Hereu Riera as a vehicle to validate traditional practices from other possible interpretations, a process that culminates in the reappropriation of what is traditional by the individual.
The Hereu Riera, premiered at the Fira Mediterrània 2022, is a ritual that invites us to reflect on the Catalan popular imaginary and the relationship it has with our contemporary society. Is there room for reconciliation?
