The Maison de la Danse has always granted flamenco a special place, recognising that this traditional dance can be creative and modern. We have helped to launch some rare talents in France, that were spotted in Seville, Xeres or Barcelona. This season, ‘Flamenco se escribe con jota’ celebrates the natural dialogue between flamenco and Aragonese jota. These two art forms are strongly linked both by their history (200 years ago Cadiz and Saragossa were both part of Andalusia) and their firm folk roots. A strong identity can be seen in the lyrics (letras) of the songs, ‘cantes’ in flamenco and ‘cantas’ in jota. A mysterious and profound connection is highlighted in this production, led by the brilliant and masterful jota dancer (bailador) Miguel Angel Berna, who transcends traditional folk jota and renders it totally contemporary, even futuristic. The show weave this together with a moving encounter with the more earthly flamenco of the dancer (bailaora) Úrsula López and the bailaor Rafael Campallo, whose talent, youth and beauty are explosive combined with the blend of sounds from three singers and five musicians from Andalusia and Aragon.
