Órbita

Flamenco dance, Cyr wheel and Spanish live music set the rhythm for a captivating story about two acrobats connected by their Andalusian roots.

Through contemporary dance, circus and live music, an intense dialogue unfolds between two bodies and two souls. Their movements spin, collide and merge in a play of attraction and distance.

Órbita is pure poetry in motion. A powerful and sensitive performance that takes the audience on a dreamlike journey back to our origins. An artistic fusion in which we recognise our own life paths — always moving forward, yet forever connected to our roots.

About the company

Zen del Sur is an internationally recognised company within the performing arts. Their work emerges from an in-depth exploration of the connection between dance, circus and live music. The result is a unique artistic language in which movement and sound are in constant dialogue.

With a multidisciplinary approach and a strong artistic identity, the company continues to explore new creative paths.

Zen del Sur is formed by two versatile artists. Noemí Pareja is a classically trained guitarist who combines her musicality with dance and circus, including boleadoras, acrobalance and pole dance.
