Melinda Espinoza
Melinda is suisso-peruvian. This mixture defines her as an artist and as a person. The spiritual and the earth, the mind and the reflection. This duality crosses her and directs her research as a creator and performer. She has been dancing Peruvian folk dances since she was 5 years old and it is with this root that she opened herself to the world of performing arts and that she began to be interested in many artistic universes..
Dancer, acrobat and actress, she has studied since 2017 between Switzerland and Spain. She starts her way at Zarti'cirque, a circus formation in Switzerland. Then, in the need to understand in depth the performing arts, she will go to learn and graduate at Escuela Internacional de Teatro Arturo Bernal, school of physical theater.
Among all her new discoveries, she finds a special interest in dance-theater. This is why she decided to study dance, urban and contemporary, at Witeam and Descalzinha Danza in Madrid.
She takes advantage of the new skills she has acquired to collaborate with a flamenco guitarist and create her solo "La muda" which she will present at sala Mirador. She then took part as a choreographer in the play “Salvajes” by Ángel Ruidos, presented in Nave 73. Recently, she dedicated herself to the creation of the piece “See-Saw” with her collective: Collectif Troika, with which she is currently touring various festivals in Spain and France.
Its artistic universe is located between the danza, the circus and the theater. Between the terrenal and the theatrical. In the constant search for the limits of each world, how they intertwine, where they meet.
Léa Misseri
Léa is originally from Hourtin, a small corner of paradise in the southwest of France, surrounded by ocean and pine forests. She is very attached to this place and likes to come back when she goes away. With this environment conducive to escape, she develops a passion for art in general. Between dance, drawing, painting, singing, music and writing, Léa likes to express her ideas.
After 3 years of university in science and technology of physical and sports activities in Bordeaux, she graduated and with a great desire to travel, she decided to start a professional dance training and began the Varium school in Barcelona. One year later, she joined the young Fre3bodies company, which presented itself as an intensive training program. Within it, she learns company work, trying out creative processes with international choreographers, and touring shows in Europe. This intensity makes her work strong and precise. To finish her training, she gets a scholarship in the training center in Madrid, Descalzinha Danza, where she will find all the lightness and calmness that she needed to finish her style.
Today her work is punctuated by physicality and acrobatics, without ever forgetting the poetry. Léa loves to dance for a purpose. Politically engaged, she will create a solo "Bon appétit" about pollution, and more specifically about the over-consumption of plastic (which ends up in the ocean). Madrid was a fireworks show of good vibes, and she decided to settle there permanently. It is here that she meets Melinda and Léa. From this friendly and artistic agreement the Troïka collective is born. In order to talk about current social issues, they created the play SEE-SAW, mixing dance, theater and singing. Today, the play is scheduled at several festivals in France and Spain.
Léa Delaporte
She is from Lozère, a department of France where nature is overflowing. It’s there
that she comes to recharge, it helps her to create, to live, and to see things differently. Thanks to this environment, she likes to discover, confront things she doesn’t know or understand. She meets the world and over all participates in projects artistic as well as social.
After an art dance school in Montpellier (Jean Monnet), two years of training at the Centre Choreographic James Carles in Toulouse and graduation in Benesh notation at the CNSMDP, she is part of a training place for professionals in Madrid «Descalzinha Danza». Here, she feeds herself with different experiences every week. This Spanish adventure helps her in her artistic research, to mix her musical practice (singing and instruments) and movement (contemporary dance, house, acrobatics). She is now a choreographic artist in the Troïka Collective.
The projects in which she will take part will allow her to develop her skills and
her appetite for movement. Here are some of the projects she has been involved in:
2023 Hug-Out of Colectifo Tete
2022 See-Saw of the Troika Collective
2022 “Quiebro” Petia Fernandez Co., Teatro Victoria, Madrid

Curious, she puts her nose in music, singing, acrobatics, mime, theater, the
puppets, plastic art, video.
