LO QUE OCURRE EN UN INSTANTE de Jesús Benzal

What Happens in an Instant is an artistic project for six performers that takes the perception of the instant as its conceptual basis, establishing a direct relationship between time and creation. How long does an instant last? How much does it change in an instant? These two premises are the argumental standard where a piece is structured that aims to investigate with the body the irreversibility of the now and our capacity to prolong the moment.

Jesús Benzal is the director and choreographer of What Happens in an Instant. With his creations he has obtained recognition in national and international choreographic competitions: First prize in Tanzplattform Bern 2024, International Choreography Competition Burgos/New York or the Sabadell Choreographic Competition, among others. His piece «Handle with care», candidate for Best Dance Show at the XXII Max Awards, received the first prize in the Premi de Dansa de l’Institut del Teatre. In 2023 and 2025, he was a resident artist at the Canal Choreographic Centre in Madrid. In 2024 he collaborated with the Dance Place company from Washington DC, USA, and in 2025 with the company Bühnen Bern, Switzerland. Additionally, he has participated in the Almada Dance Quinzena.

Sincerely, this work has left me fascinated: I have nothing but samples of recognition and admiration for this group of professionals. Luis Alberto Sosa Berlanga ACHTUNG!

The overexertion of each of the dancers stands out in a very hard prolongation of the final instant where the six put their bodies to the limit. Nuria Ruiz de Viñaspre RED ESCÉNICA.
