The Dansa Metropolitana festival unveils its programme this Wednesday in L’Hospitalet. Cultural authorities and experts will take part in the event. The event will include an exclusive preview of the piece 52-BLAU. The occasion promises surprises for dance lovers. Accreditation is essential for the media.

Barcelona's cultural calendar gains an unmissable date this week: the official presentation of the ninth edition of the Dansa Metropolitana festival. On Wednesday 11 February, at 10:00, the Centre d’Art Tecla Sala de L’Hospitalet will become the epicentre of contemporary dance, drawing the attention of professionals, the media and an audience eager to discover this year's new developments.

The event will feature key figures from the city's institutional and cultural life. L’Hospitalet mayor David Quirós, together with Xavier Marcé, head of Cultura y Industrias Creativas del Ayuntamiento de Barcelona, and Pau Gonzàlez, Culture deputy at the Diputación de Barcelona, will lead the presentation. The programme will be unveiled by Giulia Poltronieri, the festival's artistic coordinator, accompanied by Ariadna Cruz and Mireia Llunell, culture officers from L’Hospitalet and Sabadell respectively.

As a preview of what the festival will offer, those attending will be able to enjoy an exclusive extract from 52-BLAU, the new proposal from the iXa company. This intimate piece explores solitude as refuge and resistance in the face of the noise and information overload that set the rhythm of urban life. The preview promises to move audiences and open debate about personal adaptation in times of sensory overload.

The organisers remind media outlets interested in covering the presentation that they must obtain accreditation in advance by email. The event is shaping up to be a unique opportunity to learn first-hand about the trends and initiatives that will mark the dance season in Barcelona and its metropolitan area.

The Centre d’Art Tecla Sala, where the presentation will take place, is one of L’Hospitalet's most emblematic cultural spaces. Located in a refurbished former textile factory, the centre has established itself as a benchmark in promoting contemporary arts and local creation. Its programme combines exhibitions, workshops and activities that connect residents with the most innovative artistic expressions, making it an essential meeting point for metropolitan culture.
