Cube was your first work and then you put on Camins, at the Mercat de les Flors. What differences are there between the two?
At Kulbik we like to fuse our dance with other disciplines: with Cube I was inspired by the poetry of Ulises Paniagua and in Camins we wanted to create an atmosphere based on visual projections. Cube is constructed from three independent pieces in a single context defined by moods and states of mind, and Camins is constructed based on a guiding narrative thread in association with the dramatist Marc Montserrat.
What are you trying to convey with Cube?
To use the characteristic movement of the company to describe the states of mind that are around us every day as individuals and as a group.
You’ve gone from winning the TV talent competition Tú sí que vales to bringing audiences flocking to stages like the Mercat de les Flors and now Avignon à la Catalane. How do you rate that evolution?
Undoubtedly, very positive. Tú sí que vales brought us to audiences at home, made us famous and introduced us as a company. At all events we’d like to point out that Kulbik has a 12 year career founded on constant work behind it, which is what’s made our language evolve. We’re very satisfied with the large audiences and we’ll keep working to make our shows fill the theatres and excite them.
What do you regard as the differentiating element with regard to other street dance companies?
The fusion of styles we work with: hip-hop as a reference, gestural and contemporary theatre and, definitely, the comic details that accompany each work.
What are your expectations about Avignon?
To spread the name Kulbik abroad and construct a tour around France, where they have a long tradition of hip-hop, which is a whole challenge for us.
