The first two weekends of September, those who attend Tecnópolís will be able to enjoy the first Dance Festival, where 12 works by independent artists and those co-produced by the Park will be presented. And they will be with free admission.
This is the first comprehensive proposal of this discipline in the park dedicated to art, science and technology. It aims to generate a meeting, research and learning space, with the aim of expanding dances, facilitating access to them for the entire society. And it will consist of works that will be presented between Thursday, September 1 and Sunday, September 4; and between Thursday and Sunday 11.

–Suit to dance with the wind: directed by Mercedes Cabanillas, it puts on stage how heterogeneous materialities are arranged in a reciprocal bond to create a dance that arises from the encounter. Human, textile, and wind bodies collaborate by configuring and reconfiguring the spatial and material conditions for movement.
