With a strong scenic and costume proposal and an original musical creation that travels between the epic and the electronic, 11 performers will move through choreographies full of violence, subtlety and theatricality, launching themselves, with all their physicality, into a feast of combat. Bodies at war that evoke landscapes of a strange and at the same time captivating beauty. 

The proposal is based on the poem written by the Cordovan Marcus Annaeus Lucanus (39-65 A.D.); a work more than 20 centuries old through which pain becomes close to us and the word, a cry for peace for all peoples that resounds close to us. Its relevance today exudes a clear message of invocation of freedom and rejection of tyranny. 

In Ruz's words, 'Pharsalia' is an anti-war hymn to dance as a weapon of liberation and saving energy.
