Cia Vero Cendoya

For 15 years, Vero Cendoya and her team have been working hard for the full inclusion of people with (dis)abilities in the professional scene and on national and international stages. The result of these collaborations have yielded fruits such as LA PARTIDA, a dance and football show that continues to tour after its 2015 premiere at FiraTàrrega, winner of various awards in 2015 and finalist for the 2016 Max Awards. Or IF (The Last Wish), a theater show created together with journalist Natza Farré, ANTAGÒNICS, a duo by Vero Cendoya with Rubén Cardoso, as a subject representing the most influential transformist art in Barcelona. In 2013, she came into contact with the world of inclusive arts through the JUNEDA INCURSIÓ project, in which for 9 consecutive years she put on a production performed entirely by people with intellectual disabilities and vulnerable groups, subsequently undertaking a local tour, bringing together 45 people on stage. For the past six years, she has been breaking new ground by carrying out the KAE TEATRE SOCIAL project in the Garraf region, alongside Anna Barrachina. Since then, inclusion has been one of her main goals. It was then that she decided to create pieces such as HUNTING FOR THE UNICORN, a piece with Becky Parker, a co-creation with a girl with autism. In 2019, she created ÓRDAGO A LA GRANDE (Great Deal) with Arantza Lopez, an inclusive show part of the Simbiótico Festival, which premiered at the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya. She has also directed, together with Jordi Pérez, the BARRICIDI project, which was presented at the EL GRIEGO Festival in 2019. BOGUMER (or children of Lunacharsky), a large-format inclusive and intergenerational dance-theatre piece premiered at the Mercat de les Flors in 2021, HEM DE PARLAR or PARLEM-NE, street and indoor pieces that, together with her career, have served the choreographer to take her work all over the world and extend her objective of transforming the viewer's gaze. In July 2023, she premiered CICATRIUS (contrapàs de mamuts i altres feres), with which she once again firmly commits to a professional inclusive show. In May 2024, she premiered her latest large-format inclusive dance-theatre show at the Mercat de les Flors, KEBO (map of the skin of a cos).
