De costa a Costa
The show De costa a Costa (From Coast to Coast) consists of a journey that will showcase, from coast to coast, dances from the Colombian Pacific and Atlantic, each with its own idiosyncrasy and representation of the arrival of the Spanish who enslaved the indigenous race. 
From there, many dances of European origin were born in these regions, others remained of indigenous origin, and others of Black origin, which characterize dances, whether religious, festive, or ceremonial, expressing the development of these dances through different rhythms and choreography, costumes, or paraphernalia. These artistic expressions have always accompanied the Colombian rhythms, such as Cumbia, Mapalé, Congo las Pilanderas, Gaita, and Tambora.

This company joins the Festival as part of the “Uniting Worlds” project – Colombia-Europe cultural exchange 2025, coordinated by the companies Artes Gato Negro and Títeres Passiflora​.​​​​​​
