Dance Prague 2026: What Trees Don't Say

Kiko López and Héctor Plaza are prominent figures on the Spanish dance scene. They first met in 2014, and their collaboration has evolved into a long-term artistic partnership. Their work draws from diverse movement backgrounds encompassing contemporary dance, hip hop and street styles, tribal and modern jazz.

In their performance for public space, they seek parallels between human life and the life of trees — both search for roots and learn to survive in changing conditions. The movement language of both performers is plastic and dynamic; fragility meets strength, the energy of street techniques with elements of acrobatics and contact improvisation. The dance is built on sensitive work with weight, precise timing and mutual listening.

"What Trees Don't Say" is a performance in direct contact with the audience, offering space to slow down and perceive the relationships between bodies, movement and place.
