This performance is presented in collaboration with K7 WEEK.

MOLAR is a dance solo that talks about happiness. About happiness understood as a representation and as agreed norms of behavior. It tells us about happiness and its personification, about those stereotypical images that we directly relate to states of euphoria and well-being.

Businesses want us to be happy—or at least that’s what advertising wants us to believe. From fizzy drinks to insurance, happiness sells. And if not happiness, then coolness will do. The same goes for pop culture: countless songs try to lift our spirits—sometimes they even succeed. Can you really stay unmoved when someone plays We Are Family?

Molar is Spanish for ‘being into something’, or ‘hitting it off’. By means of music, movement, gestures and facial expressions, Quim Bigas embodies all possible representations of happiness and gives everything to make this feeling also spill over to the audience.

Can Quim mobilise the masses with their own emotions? Will the spark jump from the individual to the group? We will see. One thing’s certain: it’s going to be a blast.

MOLAR is part of a double bill with Slamming by Xenia Koghilaki. Slamming requires a paid ticket, while MOLAR has free admission—but you still need to reserve a ticket via the ticket link.
