Back at Mercat de les Flors, Barcelona with Dance is not for Us

After performing Beytna at Mercat de les Flors in Barcelona, we are thrilled to return to Mercat with Dance is not for Us, presented within Hacer Historia(s) VI festival

This sixth edition of the festival brings together artists who challenge dominant narratives and explore the political and poetic dimensions of dance. It celebrates bodies that resist disappearance and affirm their presence through movement, memory, and imagination.

In this context, Omar Rajeh’s solo stands as a powerful reflection on the body’s right to exist, to move, and to reclaim its space beyond power and hierarchy. His work echoes the festival’s spirit; questioning, daring, and deeply human.
