Katarsis Arts and Mental Health Festival

The second edition of a unique festival that combines art and mental health returns to help you connect with yourself like never before.

A proposal designed for all people who value emotional well-being and want to learn to take care of themselves from within.

Through an experience that unites the artistic and the psychological, this festival invites you to feel deeply and understand what you feel, with the help of art and personal development professionals.

First, let yourself be touched by the soul with an artistic part that excites and stirs. Then, take away practical and valuable tools for your emotional day-to-day.

A transformative experience that invites you to reconnect with your essence and transform your way of living.

The charismatic choreographer and dancer Rafa Méndez, returns for the second year as the festival's presenter. With his unique sensitivity and the truth that characterizes him, Rafa accompanies us again, this time with a completely renewed proposal. A new point of view, the same emotional intensity, and the talent of someone who knows how to touch the soul of the audience.

Participants who will bring this second edition to life:

Jordi Amenós, therapist, writer and creator of the "Therapeutic Narrative" will give a conference entitled "Taking care of ourselves with stories: Therapeutic narrative", a talk full of understandings and openings to the mystery of living, full of deaths and rebirths, where adventure seeks its own adventure.

Laura Llodrá, creator and dancer, will present “A Body on the Run”, a choreographic experience that opens a space for reflection on stress, illness and fragility. A creative process that is born from a transformative personal experience.

Pablo Braccacini, movement artist, and Marc Amengual, dancer and choreographer, will present an artistic piece where dance and the bodily expression of a conscious movement through contemporary breaking predominate, taking us on a journey to the innermost and highest part of our being.

Locker Kids, a dance company made up of children between 11 and 17 years old, will share a new choreography directed by Marc Amengual, inspired by the world of internal fears and their beauty when contemplating them.

Tonina Ferrer, psychologist and coach, accompanied the entire artistic process, providing reflections and tools to internalize what was experienced, give it shape and turn it into useful learning for the daily lives of the attendees.

An artistic thread will give meaning to each proposal, uniting the performances in a unique emotional journey, full of magic and coherence.

Festival directed by choreographer and dancer Marc Amengual, and psychologist and artist, Tonina Ferrer.
