Flamenco Experiment n 7
:dance/2009
One of the flamenco series of displacement experiments. A wooden platform on eight wheels generates instability in the tap-dancing body. A costume created with balloons printed with balls makes reference to the 'lunares' of the flamenco dresses, contrasting weight and unbalance of the body with the softness and lightness of the balloons. To the sound of a guitarist and a percussionist, the artist deals with the unexpected, contrasts, softness, and explosions, as the balloons burst.
Performance, concept and coreography: Laura Pacheco
Musician: David Rojas
Ilustration: Cacá Fonseca
** Performative Panel / School of Dance of the Federal University of Bahia (Salvador/Brazil)
