Laura La Risa: Idea & scenography
Asolas is an essay in three acts on different facets of loneliness. The performers have been working in the performing arts of flamenco throughout Europe since the 1990s. There is an intermission between the second and third acts.
Act 1: Soleá - Ana Sojor
The wind gives me its color, the light of day its sound. The whirring of insects surrounds me, I smell the sound of linseed oil. A sheep bleats in the distance, reminding me that I forgot to eat. The silence gives me inspiration not to get stuck in emotional loneliness.
Act 2: Frágil - Laura La Risa
Strange how loud the rustling of a skirt can be, the breathing of a mouse.
mouse. The world keeps turning and I'm stuck in it like a lollipop in a glass of water. Arms like branches, broken off and then stuck back into the ground. Forgotten and yet with the wish that a child will play with me again, I remain, an articulated doll from a bygone era.
Act 3: Cuando nadie me ve... - Manuel Reina
Idea & scenography: Laura la Risa
Dance needs inner strength. Small impulses nourish the day in nothingness, poaching in the tired body, slowly filling it with recurring rhythms.
Will the mind form a dance or will the body submit to the rhythm? Will I develop enough strength to constantly follow my inspirations?
