UPCOMIN CULTURAL EVENTS

Lecture: "Ahora bailo yo"
16/03/2020
“I dance because you exist!” Thus began the show Camelamos Naquerar, which the great flamenco dancer and choreographer Mario Maya premiered in 1976. At least that is how I thought it began... How do I investigate, rewrite, or reframe a show that I have never seen? How do I build from the resources I have? (these being confusing and incomplete). How do I showcase it using my body as a flamenco dancer? Or better yet... using my life itself. Could I talk about it? Camelamos Naquerar means “we want to talk” in Caló. Could I have a voice other than my feet, my hips, or my arms? Could I tell, write, read, and present the theme of this show, which deeply moves me? What role do we assign the past to create in the present? How to be aware of this and reflect upon time? Questions, creations, resources that intertwine—threads that lead us to different places, dance, music, texts—a world full of connections that make us travel through our senses.
