An interior that has been joined by exceptional contributions of content developed and proposed by External Reference and Onionlab.
The contents include: The contribution of the always interesting Studio Daniel Canogar presenting in the Atrium on the way to the Theater, one of his most ambitious projects to date: Dinamo, an audiovisual work designed specifically for the Spanish Pavilion at Expo Dubai 2020, and made in collaboration with the composer Francisco López.
Nacho Vigalondo's Luna de Agosto performs at the Theater. A surprising film, Spain's business card to the visitors of the Dubai Expo 2020 that shows us as a vitalistic and dynamic country, overflowing with talent and creativity, and committed to a sustainable and inclusive future.
The contents are much broader, taking tours that range from 30 minutes to two hours, including sustainability topics, chess teaching and competition, topics about technology and our cultural relationship with the Arab world.
