Mimosa is a very common plant in the Baix Montseny (Catalunya). It’s a very fragrant flower, a raised yellow colour, which means that even when it withers it keeps its beauty. As it blooms at the end of winter, it is an ideal decoration for lapels, bows and hats, and the day of the ‘Ball de Gitanes’.

‘Mimosa’ is also the name given to the piece created on the occasion of the book presentation in Sant Esteve de Palautordera: ‘Dance at school. The mastery of Joan Serra’, written by Joan Figueres and published by the Association of Teachers Rosa Sensat.

Joan Serra Vilamitjana (1947 – 2013) dedicated his whole life to dance. He was a dancer and choreographer, teacher and pedagogue. His roots were in folkloric and traditional dance but his vision of dance was universal. He worked with the language of the body and deepened this research to create his own distinctive voice. With Mimosa Pau Aran wanted to express, in the form of dance, the recognition he felt that Joan Serra and his work deserved.
