After a residency process lasting several months in Cuba, Spain and Italy, in which the artistic team, and in particular the Spanish choreographer Roberto Olivan and the Italian musician Pino Basile, was in close contact with the local realities both from a choreographic and musical point of view, the creation El resto del naufragio was born.

This ambitious collaborative project brings together artists from three countries with the aim of exploring cultural synergies and merging the essences of their rich traditions. The resulting fusion opens up new creative possibilities, always respecting the cultural context of origin and contributing to a contemporary and enriching interpretation of the tradition of each place.

The main interest of El resto del naufragio is not in exploring cultural incompatibilities, but in focusing on the contrast and convergence of these traditions. An approach that adds a wealth of nuances and allows for new interpretative possibilities.

In a globalized context, cultural differences overlap and stratify, creating levels that offer multiple readings and experiences.

El resto del naufragio does not intend to provide definitive answers, but rather to offer multiple interpretations and readings. In this artistic and human journey, the absolute truth does not exist, but the intention is to bring to light as many perspectives as possible.

Roberto Olivan, an international creator, began his training at the Institut del Teatre in Barcelona and at the P.A.R.T.S. school (Brussels). His professional career began with the prestigious company Rosas, directed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. He has also danced under the direction of Robert Wilson, Tom Jansen and Josse de Pauw. Additionally, he founded and directs the Festival Deltebre Dansa, the Festival ARTÈRIA TORTOSA and L’Obrador Espacio de Creación. He also creates commissions for dance companies, universities, conservatories and dance centres all over the world as well as in the film sector. His intense career has been recognized worldwide, receiving awards such as the Premi Nacional de Cultura 2014 (Spain), the Premi Ciutat de Barcelona 2013 (Spain), the Premio FAD Sebastià Gasch d’Arts Parateatrals 2012 (Spain), and the EFFE 2019 Award to the Festival Deltebre Dansa (Belgium), among many others.
