Acosta Danza, under the direction of the first dancer Carlos Acosta, will present its new season "Youth in the National" on May 27, 28 and 29 and June 3, 4 and 5, in the Sala Avellaneda of the National Theater.

The main attraction of these functions will be the performance of the new promotion of dancers that is already part of the company's cast, informed Lester Vila Pereira, press director of the dance group.

The young artists, graduates of the Acosta Danza Academy, will fully assume the program made up of the pieces Paysage, soudain, la nuit, choreographed by the Swedish Pontus Lidberg, with music by Leo Brouwer and Stefan Levin; The death of two swans, a duet inspired by the mythical work of Mijaíl Fokín, based on the music of the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns.

The show will continue with Huella, solo by the young dancer and choreographer Héctor Rodríguez, a student at the Acosta Danza Academy, and the duo Nosotros, by Beatriz García and Raúl Reinoso, with music by Pepe Gavilondo.

The show closes Satori, the award-winning creation by Raúl Reinoso, a work that also has a musical score by Gavilondo.
