Cultural reflections on aging and the new dance work of María Pagés

Content creator Jaime Gumiel conducted interviews with individuals over the age of 80 to explore their life reflections and regrets. Findings suggest gender-based differences in remorse: women often express regret over not living more authentically or prioritizing social acceptance over personal happiness, frequently due to historical societal roles centered on domesticity and family.

In the cultural sphere, dancer and choreographer María Pagés is preparing to premiere her new show, ‘Bilbao Square’, at Centro Danza Matadero. Directed by her partner Larbi El Arti, the performance draws inspiration from a historical photograph of Pagés as a teenager with her mother and grandmother. The work explores her personal development and roots in Madrid during a period of significant personal transition.
