Danza Babaol is about a girl fascinated with poppies and snails. She is called Amapola (Spanish name for poppy flower) and in her surreal world everything has only three colours: red, green and black. Babaol is an intimate show that brings back childhood memories to adults and captivates kids; where dance, theatre and video combine in order to create a fantastic scenic experience that brings together humour, tenderness, mystery and courage.

EnÁmbar is a consolidated and well-known company in the contemporary dance scene of Spain. The group was born in 2007 under the direction of the dancer and choreographer Cristina M. Gómez. Nowadays the company is based in Valencia. Aiming to create, explore and transit scenic processes and pieces, EnÁmbar has a physical foundation focused principally in the discursive possibilities of the body in motion. The group is interested in the relation with the space, the audience and other artistic disciplines, media and ways of communication.

Through its artistic trajectory the company has created several dance pieces that have toured around Spain and abroad; some of these pieces were made for children. The group has performed in England, Mexico, Japan and Lebanon among other countries. One of the objectives of the company is to promote dance and contribute to make art be seen as an element of socialization, able to influence society positively.
