Touring Now:
ECHOES - New creation
Nominated for the
Critic's Award 2020
Since 2005, the CIA MOVEO produces and tours on international stages productions that explore the narrative strength of the body and the expressive richness of the movement.
Far from illustrating through gestures, far from an abstract plasticity of the body separated from theatricality, Cia Moveo researches and works the development of a physical language that constantly seeks the connection between different disciplines.
Based in Barcelona, the company is formed by Spanish and international artists, and was co-founded by Stéphane Levy, Sophie Kasser and Olivier Decriaud.
Since its creation, the company has been awarded several prizes, the most recent being the Best Performance Award (dance category) of the International Theater and Dance Fair of Huesca’15 (Spain), the Best Company Award of the Imaginarius’16 Festival in Portugal, the Moritz Fira Tàrrega’17 Award for Best Street Arts Premiere and the Dansacat Award 2020 for the Best Choreography. Cia Moveo was also nominated for the 2018 Critic’s Award.
The company receives the support of the Region of Catalonia, the Barcelona City Council and the Institut Ramon Llull and is working together with the manager Fani Benages.
The Press Said:
“They make what is impossible look so easy that it is important to remind ourselves of the boldness of working like they do in the streets. They choose to share this idea with their audience so that it ends up being a understandable effort. And at the same time, they demand enough freedom so that creativity is not categorized in certain clichés or styles and we are always waiting for something new every time we share time with them. ”

“Context is not, of course, everything: the performances themselves must attract and hold the attention of a passing and often distracted audience. Catalan company Cia Moveo did this very effectively with Conseqüències, impactful physical theatre”
(Sanjoy Roy – The Guardian, 2018)
“The Cia Moveo has seduced with its sense of humor and its close style that breaks the distance of the one that watches and the one being watched.”

Dance that breaks the cold formalism and explodes to the public.

“On the other hand, every fall, every hug, every support from each other represents a mastery of the body that captivates the entire audience. Moveo conveys love, understanding, solidarity … the best emotions, the most positive …”
(Martí Figueras – Recomana.cat, 2021)
“An excellent, simple work in which the performers show a wonderful tech- nique, it’s theatre, it’s dance.”
(Rosa Matas – La Vanguardia, 2017)
“Another piece that left us wanting never to end was Conseqüències by the company Moveo, authentic revelation of the festival, whose dancers were coming out of the public performing a very original and fresh piece of contemporary dance, fascinating, … at the same time full of comic moments, tenderness and poetry, with a simple but beautiful ending in an explosion of joy and joy shared by spectators.”
(Miguel Gabaldón – Notodo.com, 2017)
