Julio Ruiz
"I work from the wound, I create from the wound, between light and darkness. From the question. From everyday experiences, trying to crystallise the everyday into, who knows, something extraordinary. Art is the world's way of taking care of us, and that's all we need."
Dancer and choreographer, trained in Spanish Dance, Flamenco and Contemporary Dance, Julio Ruiz develops his vision of art, the stage and dance through his company, revealing the difference between what we want and what we do, what we assume and what they need, what is pre-established and what is created. A tireless creator, he has produced 8 of his own productions since 2014. Since 2016 he has toured nationally and internationally as a solo dancer visiting some of the most important dance festivals. He associates his creations (since 2041) to the daily life of the tablao and has been part of the cultural programme of some of the most important tablaos in Spain.
He is currently immersed in the national and international tour of his latest production, Tocar a un hombre, with which he has already visited the Teatro Fernán Gómez in Madrid and the Sadler's Wells Theater in London, among others.
