This project was designed to promote, expand, and innovate the contemporary dance repertoire for dancers from all over the world, of all nationalities and ages. The activity aimed to artistically unite the Castellón region through culture, thanks to the collaboration between the Fundación Caixa Castelló, Cinctorres City Council, Tírig City Council, and the Diputación de Castelló.

The creative process consisted of daily sessions lasting 5–6 hours, in which each participant developed their own piece with collaborative input from others. Performing one’s own work was optional, and each piece involved four performers, or five if the creator participated. There were no restrictions on duration or technique, though it is suggested to incorporate elements connected to the Los Ports region. Participants must described whether their work used personal material, material from other performers, or a combination. Each piece lasted between 5 and 10 minutes, integrating one hour performing show and integrated theatrical, gestural, or performative elements.

This piece was toured in Cinctorres, Tirig and Villamalur. Provinces in Castellón, Spain.
