On March 10, 11, 12, and 13, 2011, organized by the Ministry of Culture of the City of Buenos Aires, visitors and locals are invited to enjoy the dance festival "Ciudanza".
Ciudanza is part of an innovative program, “Ciudades que danzan” (Dancing Cities), an international network of festivals with a program of contemporary dance shows in urban landscapes, existing in South America and Europe, in cities like Barcelona, Lisbon, Bologna, London and La Habana, among others.
"Ciudades que danzan" is the union of architecture, contemporary dance, and the public, opening a new vision of the artistic and cultural heritage of the city. Through the language of dance, people passing by learn to look at a place, a street, a corner in a different way, rediscovering it.
For this edition of the festival in Buenos Aires the spaces where the performances will take place are Plaza Miserere, Plaza San Martin de Tours and the square surrounding the monument to Carlos de Alvear, and Parque de la Memoria. 15 dance companies will participate in this event, presenting 17 different performances, giving a new value to public space through cultural activities.

The Contemporary Ballet of Teatro San Martín, directed by the renown choreographer Mauricio Wainrot, former choreographer of the Royal Ballet of Flanders (Belgium), and Les Ballets Jazz (Montreal), will offer a series of free presentations of their choreographic version of the scenic cantata Carmina Burana at the Amphitheater Eva Peron in Parque Centenario.

Carmina Burana is a collection of chants from the 12th and 13th centuries, preserved in a unique Codex found in 1803 by Johann Christoph von Aretin at the abbey of Bura Sancti Benedicti (Benediktbeuern), in Bavaria. The codex comprises a total of 300 rhymes, written mainly in latin, some in an ancient German dialect, and ancient French.

Between 1935 and 1936 German composer Carl Orff set 24 of the poems to music, also called Carmina Burana, becoming a symbol of the German spirit. The most famous movement is "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi (O Fortuna)".

The scenes that will be presented in this occasion are: Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi, Primo Vere, In Taberna Cour D’Amours, Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi.
