Hospital care and contemporary dance seem at first glance to belong to two worlds are total opposites. Nevertheless, in this place where science and rationality prevail, we observe that choreographic art is not devoid of efficiency in the management of pain in the body, acting with different audiences and different scales. Dance at the hospital allows us to rethink the relationship between care givers and their patients, everyday life in the hospital, our collective image and perception of the body and circulation in urban life.
