We've win




We've some time to relax, but in Mopa want to be creatives.
"Mala Suerte o Falta de Talento" is a new piece about love, war and music. This is a work by Raquel Luque and Juan Luís Matilla, but it's also a work in progess.
Anyway, Mopa won yesterday the first price in Certamen Coreográfico de Madrid 2009.
We're so happy with this notice, and we want to share with you...

So busy



Mopa is so busy in november. We have three productions in Seville. It's so amazing. Two years and a lot of work done.

Tuve que hacer el amor por cortesía has been represented in Mes de Danza 2009. La Tasca restaurant and its WC was the space to performed this crazy piece. 17 setences from La Naúsea (J.P. Sartre), five people, one minute and a half by round, one dancer, one speaker, one musician and two turntables are all....mm...yes and public WC.

Watch the video


But, Mopa is also preparing Tus hijos me están jodiendo la vida premier in Seville. It´s a cut and paste of things that nobody wants, sounds of landscapes which remind of fluxus and the New York New Wave, in early 80’s. It’s not intelectual humour, but assuming the consequences. It is a destructive and reconstructive way of creation, just to see what happens.

November 21th in Mes de Danza too.... with a surprise vinyl disc included.

You could watch the video too


And the last, (espérame despierto) will be represented in Teatro Central. We have so busy, but we have another video. Do you want to watch it?

Your kids are fucking up my life

Francisco Torres & Juan Luís Matilla & Roberto Martínez Losa. Your kids are fucking up my life is the result of a reunion without adults. Cut and paste of things that nobody wants, sounds of landscapes which remind of fluxus and the New York New Wave, in early 80’s. It’s not intelectual humour, but assuming the consequences. It is a destructive and reconstructive way of creation, just to see what happens. It is a game not pretended, socialiced and without  grudge, which comes out from a bored performer and his role in the piece, confronting formalisims. “Forget everything to remember in the very last moment” (Christian Marclay). In colaborattion with Benito Jiménez light and video desing.

All you have is a violin, a concertina, two people and you

(espérame despierto)

 “(Wait for me awake)” is a Mopa production (Juan Luís Matilla) where Eloísa Cantón and Juan Kruz Díaz de Garaio Esnaola collaborate. It arose from Juan Luís and Eloísa’s first outline which received the name “I suppose I want to know what comes next”.

After being superbly directed and coreographed by Juan Kruz Díaz "I suppose..” became “(wait for me awake)”.

“(wait for me awake)”, in its director’s words, is about: Two characters in light sleep, unconscious about the presence of those acting as witnesses of their intimate dialogue. A dialogue unceasingly seeking for communication through the language they have created and made theirs. As witnesses, our dare is accepting being their companions at their daily life, watching their relationship that we grasp from the outside as mere observers, making no judgements.

The dance shows where you won’t hear a snort


Mopa has some productions like:

(wait for me awake) - (espérame despierto)
Your kids are fucking my life up - Tus hijos me están jodiendo la vida
I had to make love to be polite - Tuve que hacer el amor por cortesía
Unlucky or lack of talent - Mala Suerte o Falta de Talento
