The show 'CreAcción', by Metamorphosis Dance and co-produced by the MUN, winner of two Max Awards.

The show CreAcción, by Metamorphosis Dance, a company directed by Iratxe Ansa and Igor Bavovich, and co-produced by Museo Universidad de Navarra, has won the Max Awards for Best Choreography and Best Lighting Design, a work by Nicolás Fischtel. The dancer and choreographer Jesús Carmona won the awards for Best Male Dance Performer and Best Dance Show for Baile de bestias, whose premiere was hosted by the MUN on November 11, as the closing of Museo en Danza.

The gala, held on the evening of June 6 at the Teatro Principal de Mahón in Menorca, was attended by Teresa Lasheras, the Museum's Director of Performing Arts and Music, who accepted the award for Best Choreography on behalf of Ansa and Bacovich, who are currently in Regensburg working on a new show with the German city's Opera Ballet.

On behalf of the award winners, Lasheras sent a "big hug to the fellow candidates, Daniel Doña and his entire team, and to Olga Pericet" and thanked the jury for the award, which they want to share with all the people and institutions that have made it possible: the cast of dancers; the lighting designer Nicolás Fischtel; the musician Juan Belda; Danilo Moroni and Juan Carlos Toledo, responsible for photography and video; and the manager Claudia Morgana and her production team. He also thanked the institutions that supported the project: the Government of Navarra, the Community of Madrid, the City Council of Alcorcón and the Basque Government.

Likewise, he also valued that CreAcción is the result of a collaborative project carried out during a residency at the Museum: "The show is unique because there was a group of people who do not belong to our professions but who shared the entire creation process with Iratxe and Igor, who were very generous and brave in accepting that a group of non-professionals got headlong into the creation and went all the way to the premiere. These people wanted to approach dance because they were interested in it and have ended up loving it deeply. I hope there are many more of us every day".

The premiere of the show took place at the MUN theater on November 6th. Previously, during 7 weeks, the group of artistic collaborators participated with the company in a process through which they explored their concerns and the way to transfer them to the body, to dance, in a show with high quality requirements. The initial challenges were the relationship between the creative process and the public, the correlation between the idea and its dance representation, and the proximity of contemporary art to the concerns of citizens.
