Plaça Cívica will host several performances to celebrate International Dance Day. On Monday the 5th at 1:30 p.m., audiences will be able to enjoy two performances by the UAB Dance Workshop and the guest company Àngel Duran Performing Arts.

The Contemporary Dance Level 1 students, directed by Mario G. Sáez, will present their new creation "Anem", a show based on moving forward in the face of challenges, using dance as the path. Meanwhile, the Contemporary Dance Level 2 group, under the direction of Laia Santanach, will perform "Ten to Ten". This performance creates a space for ten personalities, ten perspectives, beginning a journey that ends at the same starting point—but seen from a different angle. To conclude, the company Àngel Duran Performing Arts will perform Clinch, a show inspired by boxing that seeks to expose toxic masculinity as seen through the lens of competition.

Description:

For the past four years, the VIVALDI project, led by the UAB, has explored ways to push the boundaries of innovation in transforming CO₂ emissions from bio-based industries into valuable resources. Thanks to the support of the Euorpean Union's Horizon 2020 programme, the VIVALDI consortium has managed to develop cutting-edge biotechnological solutions to convert off-gases from key sectors (food, paper, bioethanol and biochemical products) into four high-value organic acids, key components for more sustainable biomaterials and circular biorefineries.

Now that the project reaches its final stage, the consortium will communicate its breakthroughs in a conference entitled "Unlocking the Potential of CO₂ as Feedstock for the Chemical Industry". The conference will also focus on the environmental and economic impact of CO₂ valorisation and debate on how these advances can shape the future of a greener and more resource-efficient industry.

The conference is aimed at researchers, industry leaders, policy makers, and innovators in sustainability. Registration is required; those interested can attend in person or online.
