Henko is a work in which a duo of contemporary dance, urban dance and parkour seeks to integrate architecture and movement, to awaken in the spectators a new way of looking at the architectural work that surrounds us.

Henko is also an internal change in the individual, the renunciation of what holds us back to become what we really are. A necessary transformation to go through a journey, a turning point that lifts us above fear and worries, transforming our vital attitude and, therefore, our path.

RIART COLLECTIVE
RIART is a young dance collective from the city of Pamplona founded in 2020 by Idoia Rodriguez and Rafa Arenas. From the beginning they focus on developing their personal brand linked to common interests and concerns that lead them towards a strong attraction for dance-film, artistic research and stage performance.

They aim to be pioneers in the field of dance and video, through the interaction of different artistic disciplines, urban dance, contemporary dance and parkour. They invite the public to take an active position in front of what is being lived, and to reflect on current social issues.
