“Audacious, funny, nostalgic.” – London Evening Standard

Lolo is a little Spanish bull who doesn’t feel like he fits in with the other bulls in the farm. He doesn’t like playing rough, and he really doesn’t enjoy the big loud bullfights. Instead, he loves dancing with the Moon every night, and dreams of becoming Lola, a famous flamenco dancing cow! Will you come and dance with Lolo and help make their dreams come true?

The Bull and the Moon is an endearing family-friendly production that celebrates anyone who dances to their own tune. A fun, fiery, and magical dance performance that blends contemporary dance, flamenco and physical theatre, this is a heart-warming story about the importance of finding oneself and the beauty of gender diversity.

Directed by Carlos Pons Guerra for DeNada Dance Theatre, with choreography by Pons Guerra and flamenco artist Ana Garcia, designs by Ryan Laight and produced by Spin Arts.

“There is nothing like Pons Guerra’s work elsewhere on the British dance stage.” – Dance Europe
