'Lady of the Night': biography of a flower

The dancer and choreographer from Cordoba, Marta Gálvez, presented her first solo work at the Jerez Festival: 'Dama de Noche'. A psychedelic and somewhat difficult to assimilate work, while at the same time full of beautiful and seductive moments.

Again in the Blas Infante Social Center, a psychedelic and somewhat difficult to assimilate work… while at the same time full of beautiful and seductive moments. The process is basic for any variety of creation. On the one hand, the technical ability of the performer, his originality, taste, knowledge and other variables that feed the final result. On the other hand, how does he manage those gifts that make us exalt him as a master or genius? It is the eternal dilemma: what good would the genius of Picasso for example, if I were unable to conceive Guernica?

The artificial fable of Julio Ruiz

February 26

It's not that the dancer Marta Galvez comparable to Picasso, but his ability is perhaps more developed than his conceptual talent. While we are at it, I confess that the dance flamenco I was more attracted to it when it didn't look so much like contemporary dance.But we must let the new ones express themselves freely.

 

«The intensity of the flamenco "It defeats the contemporary. Fragments of cantiñas, granaína and alegrías suave suavito as well as farruca with fans and soleá, more theatre than dance. The synopsis tells me that the work represents the life cycle of a flower. As often happens, the script is unnecessary, and the silent beauty of the dance remains without explanation."

 

 

Silence and darkness to open, it was not going to be any other way. A barely audible sound layer completes the mystery, and how far away the noise of the outside world is. Marta remains alone for a long time with that background sound, while her body draws arabesques. The singer arrives. david lakes to put things in order with his warm voice to the beat of seguiriya with the smell of threshing and the cante of the Planet, all by insinuations. The infinite sweetness of the voice of Isidora O'Ryan contrasts with David's thick and warm sound, the black sounds begin to make themselves known and Yerbabuena it's in the details.

Palmas a duet with Marta and David, and as was inevitable, the intensity of the flamenco It defeats the contemporary. Fragments of cantiñas, granaína and alegrías suave suavito as well as farruca with fans and soleá, more theatre than dance. The synopsis tells me that the work represents the life cycle of a flower. As often happens, the script is unnecessary, and the silent beauty of the dance remains without explanation.
