The Institut Ramon Llull is a cultural organization dedicated to promoting the Catalan language and culture worldwide. Among other things, it supports the mobility of Catalan artists through an international residency program.

Continuing the partnership initiated in 2023 with Catalan choreographer Quim Bigas, who performed in the public space at the first Impact Festival, the Centre chorégraphique national is opening its studio to him to work on his next creation D'ENÇÀ -----(DEPUIS).

Starting with a sequence of movements in unison, Quim Bigas opens up a poetic, contemplative space in which dance plays an essential role. L'unisson allows us to perceive movement and dance as possible places where we can meet, feel, move and support each other through listening and attention.

Quim Bigas wanted to create this dance sequence by inhabiting different types of locations, moving movements outside the studio, observing how different contexts affect the creation of choreographic material. After several weeks' residency in Plaça Margarida Xirgu, a public square in Montjuïc-Barcelona, on the seafront in Malgrat de Mar (Quim Bigas's hometown) and at Materiais Diversos in Portugal, his team moved into the Centre chorégraphique studio for the final stage of creation.

Quim Bigas works in the fields of choreography and dramaturgy. Since 2017, he has been working on projects that question the sense of belonging through dance and movement. In his various creations, iel often uses documentary processes, seeking to deploy the possibilities of a long temporality in choreography. Since 2018, he has been a dance teacher at Den Danske Scenekunstskolen (Copenhagen).
