The ballet La noche de San Juan (The Night of Saint John), which will be performed on October 16 at the University of Navarra Museum, was conceived in the 1930s for the Ballets Russes de Montecarlo company, but the Spanish and European wars prevented its premiere.

Miguel Ángel Marín, who has led its recovery from the Juan March Foundation, Antonio Ruz, creator and director of the new production, and Miguel Baselga, who will perform Gerard's score on the piano, will discuss the process of recovering and staging a dance piece that has never been performed before, as well as the boundaries between historical interpretation and creative development.
