Aboard a space shuttle, helmet in hand, a cosmonaut. COMETA is an unexpected traveler who, through her curiosity and discoveries, invites us to look at our surroundings with fresh eyes. With her, we embark on a galactic adventure to rediscover and marvel at the force of gravity, the possibilities of movement, and the power of empathy. Geometry, play, and the speed of light. The universe, imagination, and interstellar travel. And above all, we’ll celebrate that we’ve found each other!

The choreographic work of Roser López Espinosa blends strong physicality with subtlety, acrobatic elements, and a love for detail, within a creative world full of playfulness, refined poetics, and a touch of humor. Trained at the MTD / University of the Arts in Amsterdam (Netherlands) and a dancer with Àngels Margarit/Cia Mudances, Cesc Gelabert, Iago Pericot, and filmmaker Isaki Lacuesta, among others, her work as a creator has been present on the international stage since 2006. She has choreographed large-scale productions such as L’estol for the Producció Nacional de Dansa and Trama (Best Choreography 2019 at the XXII Critics’ Awards). Cometa, her piece for children and family audiences, co-produced by the German network Vorpommern tanzt an, has fascinated both young and old with 190 performances around the world.

She is a guest choreographer with international companies such as Skånes Dansteater (Sweden), Scottish Dance Theater (UK), Zagreb Dance Company (Croatia), and MiR Company (Germany), and has collaborated with circus companies like Compagnie XY (France). She is an associate artist at the creation center La Caldera in Barcelona, a resident artist at Mercat de les Flors (2018–21), and an exchange resident artist at NTCH – National Theater Concert Hall in Taipei (Taiwan) during 2022–23. Her creative work has been programmed at leading international festivals in Europe, North America, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia.
