Aina Alegre - CCN de Grenoble & STUDIO FICTIF FUGACES

Season 26 27
Show

FUGACES is a loose interpretation of the dance style of Carmen Amaya, one of flamenco’s greatest “bailaora”. Enlisting a multi-talented cast of performers, choreographer Aina Alegre connects the work of La Amaya – who has consistently challenged the codes of flamenco – to our present time. FUGACES is a subdued homage as well as a departure.

Carmen Amaya was destined to strike the imagination of Aina Alegre, a prolific choreographer now at the helm of Centre chorégraphique de Grenoble. However, with Aina Alegre, nostalgia gives way to modernity, that of La Amaya, a gypsy courted by Hollywood, a strong woman in a world of men, a myth despite herself. 
FUGACES is aptly titled as it defies rhythm, bringing out a miniature brass band on stage, offering a round dance where the performers wear their vests open across their chests or skirts over pants as if to hold off a certain flamenco folklore. Several times, the show takes the audience into a fiesta, with the dancers subverting the floor strikes characteristic of flamenco or the arched back poses. To Aina Alegre, Carmen Amaya is a kind of gracious ghost watching over this energetically flamboyant piece. From Ravel’s deconstructed Boléro to the projected images of Amaya, everything falls into place. To our delight.

Carmen Amaya opens my eyes to the possibility of seeing dance as a force of life, as a space of struggle and survival.
