A Place to Dance is a meeting between Madrid-based Brazilian dancer and choreographer Poliana Lima and Seville-based British flamenco dancer Yinka Esi Graves. The artists share the idea that the body is a place traversed by multiple cultural heritages. When the cultural alliances and lineages of the body are placed at the centre, the question of relevance arises.

Poliana Lima was a resident at Graner in 2024 through a public call, specifically during the research phase of this project with Yinka Esi Graves. Now, they return to Graner for a technical residency in dialogue with Mercat de les Flors, and they are opening the piece to the public, which will premiere in March 2025 at the Mercat.
