20 Dancers for the XX Century is conceived as a living archive. Twenty artists from different generations perform, recall, appropriate and transmit solo dance pieces from the twentieth century that were once famous but are now forgotten. In their day, they were created and performed by some of the most pre-eminent dancers, choreographers and artists of the modern and post-modern scene. Each dancer will present their own dance museum, a space in which the body is central. Therefore, there will be no stage or demarcation of the performance area, with the artists wandering freely through the galleries on the ground and first floors of the Museum, which house the works from the Collection.
