The Mal Pelo company, founded 34 years ago, has brought together the talent of Pep Ramis and María Muñoz, creators of works of shared authorship that use their artistic language of movement and dramaturgy with text, original soundtracks and live music, complemented by intelligent use of scenography, light and video. With these elements, they take to the stage and share the limelight, many years after they first did so, presenting the choreography Double Infinite. The Bluebird Call, inspired by fragility, simplicity and a love of the stage. The themes of identity, the individual and the body are explored in the piece, which takes place in a bare space in which lighting, objects and sound speak to us of changes and mutations, and where the precision of gesture and rhythm, as well as the intensity of movement, are fundamental elements.

According to the company, the piece is about "the need to imagine and pursue impossible realities, to build a fiction that reveals the importance of inventing the future and projecting it beyond the predictable." This fantasy is an act of rebellion against a reality that seems immutable, and “against the structures that build us as individuals and as a society.” As a result, the body becomes a tool for questioning the world around us and plays a transformative role.
