Argument
“You and I” is a unique journey that explores how boundaries and limitations can become powerful drivers, establishing a connection between me and you, you and I. At its core, this show embraces all forms of diversity; for us, diversity is not a label; it's a celebration of the multiple ways we all experience the world. Designed especially for early childhood, this show opens up a world of possibilities for babies, toddlers (ages 6 months and up), and families. In “You and I,” we celebrate diversity and make inclusion our norm. With the motto “A sensitive show for a diverse audience,” our mission is to generate a creative and welcoming space where everyone—including babies, children, and people—feel supported, understood, and fully integrated into the experience. We want everyone to take ownership of this stage, where diversity is the driving force behind our shared narrative and where every voice finds its place.

DA.TE Danza celebrates 25 years of creating, producing, and exhibiting contemporary dance, dance theater, and object theater performances aimed at children and young people, spanning from early childhood to adolescence. With 28 premieres and more than 2,700 performances, DA.TE Danza is one of the longest-running dance companies in Andalusia, with a stable and rigorous structure, becoming a well-established project founded in 1999.
Since its inception, DA.TE Danza has been committed to work that prioritizes message over aesthetics. By this, we mean creating and producing shows that are committed to today's society, showing children and young people a story to reflect on. Its awards and special mentions include more than a dozen recognitions that honor the innovation and artistic quality of a team currently comprised of more than 15 people under the direction of its founder, Omar Meza, leaving an indelible mark on the national and international heritage and scene.
All of the company's projects enjoy the ongoing collaboration of the National Institute of Performing Arts and Music, part of the Ministry of Culture and Sport of the Government of Spain, and the Andalusian Agency of Cultural Institutions, part of the Ministry of Culture and Historical Heritage of the Regional Government of Andalusia.
Throughout its 25-year history, DA.TE Danza has promoted numerous social transformation and community mediation projects, consolidating its commitment to inclusion and cultural accessibility. Initiatives such as "Danzando Emociones," funded by the "la Caixa" Foundation's "Art for Change" program in 2003, have brought dance to young people with and without disabilities at the IES Alhambra in Granada. In addition, the company has held specific workshops for families, children, young people, teachers, seniors, people with disabilities, and inmates in prisons, promoting emotional development and well-being through the performing arts. These activities have not only fostered artistic expression but have also used dance as a tool for social and educational transformation, integrating the community into its work philosophy.
