The Arriaga antzokia in basque or Teatro Arriaga in Spanish is an opera house in Bilbao. It was built in Neo-baroque style by architect Joaquín Rucoba in 1890, the same architect that built the city hall. It is named after Juan Crisóstomo de Arriaga, known in his time as the “Spanish Mozart”. The theater was rebuilt in 1985 after severe flooding destroyed it in August 1983.

Overview
Three buildings and two choreographic views on a dance journey to reflect on industrial heritage.
Spatial occupation is a common substratum in architecture and dance. There is a geometry underlying bodies and space. A corporeal mass, a membrane, like a cloak which generates atmospheres throughout its movement, reaching different structural corners of the void. In relation to the expansion of the corporeal qualities that dance can bring to the body, we can also point to the development of corporal and spatial memory.
Can the history and architecture of buildings be transmitted through dance? Three buildings and many choreographic views make us reflect on industrial heritage through a danced architectural journey. The project is made up of a multidisciplinary team that works with movement and spatial occupation from three different points of view, those of its choreographers: Pol Jiménez (Barcelona) and Mikel del Valle (Bilbao). Three visions of contemporary dance around movement understood as an architectural language. Dance is the movement of the body in space, and architecture arranges and hierarchises space through construction. Both are an occupation of space. A filling of air through time.
