D.V.A. A parade made up of 4 large mobile structures, moved by human traction. Followed by a stop of 25 minutes approx., where a dance/theater ritual is performed, to the rhythm of live electronic music. The show uses and adapts to the urban space.

The mastery of the choreographer Sol Picó and the overflowing creativity of La Danaus form a perfect symbiosis for a street piece; great for its elements, rich for its variety, entertaining for its personality, amusing for its acting and characters, corrosive for its content. D.V.A., fills the viewer with a world of spectacular surprises.

The parade, consists of 4 mobile structures, made by the plastic artist Oscar de Paz, which measure 5 meters and are moved by human traction. The actors and dancers climb on the structures, interpreting characters full of expression and content, but with very small and slow movements, contrasting with the colossity of the structures that carry them.

In the second part, with the structures stopped, the actors and dancer perform a ritual dance using the urban space. Where the actors dance and the dancers interpret. A ritual with 5 parts: the meeting, the dance of the disabled, the choreography on 4 moving plates in which the 4 dancers interpret a bolero with their feet fixed to the ground, the techno-tango-sardana and the post-nuclear dance. The music of the entire work is performed live by the Catalan musicians, Mireia Tejero and Carlos López.
