Urban Dance Workshop with Julio César Iglesias Ungo

Pina Bausch Centre under construction, Bundesallee 260, Wuppertal
Admission: €15 / reduced €8

Julio Iglesias Ungo studied at the E.N.A. in Havana from 1995 to 2001, graduating as a professional dancer, teacher and choreographer. He was a soloist and resident choreographer with Danza Contemporánea de Cuba, and has worked as a dancer with, amongst others, Wim Vandekeybus / Ultima Vez, Samir Akika and Renegade. He has choreographed numerous works of his own, including in Cuba, Colombia and Mexico, for the Bolshoi Dance Festival in Moscow, Unusual Symptoms, Pottporus and Renegade. After El Vacio / The Void the company presents La Cura / The Cure.

The workshop is aimed at professional dancers and young people aged 13 and over who are keen on hip-hop. It is being held as part of the guest performances by El Vacio and La Cura on May 5 and 6. For the first time the Compañía Colombiana de Danza Contemporánea performes in Germany. The choreographies are by Cuban urban art specialist Julio César Iglesias Ungo, who previously visited us in 2025 with two productions. Exciting urban and contemporary dance styles come together.

This guest performance is made possible thanks to the kind support of the Goethe-Institute.
