MALAGA, 12 (EUROPA PRESS)
The Cultural Container of the University of Malaga (UMA) has reserved the month of April to travel the world in a metaphorical way with culture as a means of transportation, through a program full of international artists and shows that invite you to explore, discover and to reflect across different disciplines.
Thus, the performances begin this Wednesday with Emilo Manzano, who puts his body in ‘Proyecto pueblo: Pubertad’ as a vehicle towards a journey through roots and folklore after the Easter holidays. Living arts is repeated the following Wednesday, the 19th, with ‘We were waiting for you’, a show that reflects on ideologies around spirituality and groups with sectarian ideas and concepts.
One of the activities organized by UMAsaludable closes the performances of the month. ‘I spend the day dancing’ is an event created by Coletivo Danza in Malaga, a group of dancers from all over the world settled in our city, presenting this dance show energized by DJ aka TheRealDeaf, as detailed in a release.
For its part, music could not be missing on Thursdays in April at the Container either. Thus, the sounds of India, Ireland and China come together in Arzan’s melodies in an instrumental concert on Thursday, April 13. On the other hand, two Argentines, an Englishman and a man from Malaga form Polarnova, an alternative rock group that will present their new album a week later, on the 20th, on the stage of the cultural space.
Also part of the activities proposed by UMAsaludable, comes Silent Party, a musical session created by the producer Broken Lip and the multidisciplinary artist Mad Juan in which attendees will dance around the university area to the rhythm of a session that they can listen to through your headphones.
Tickets are on sale at a single price of three euros and can be purchased in advance on the Wegow platform, or on the day of the event at the Cultural Container box office half an hour before the start, if tickets are available. The shows will start at 8:00 p.m., with exceptions if any.
For his part, Eduardo Sierra, professor of Educational Theory at the University of Malaga, moderates the film sessions in April with a selection of feature films focused on the relationship between teachers and students.
The inspiring and emotional ‘Dead Poets Club’ opened the screenings on April 11, followed by the German film ‘The Wave’, on the 12th. The cycle will end on Tuesday, April 25 with ‘The Lives of Grace’ starring by Oscar winner Brie Larson. All screenings will be accompanied by a discussion with invited experts on the subject matter. The sessions will begin at 6:00 p.m. with free admission until full capacity is reached.
