Project in artistic residency as part of a partnership between O Espaço do Tempo, Graner - Centre de creació de dansa i arts vives & La Caldera, with the support of Institut Ramon Llull.

 

This solo moves by undressing the Spanish Copla and revealing its hidden forms, as if the shawl were a veil that uncovers what is hidden. Inspired by the "Cafés Cantantes", this space is transformed into a terrain of enchantment, where the body that could dance the “Copla” is proposed not as a fixed figure, but as an entity in constant change. The piece crosses the limits of this musical genre that fuses lyrics, music, and interpretation in order to bring out the mysteries hidden in the popular, based on its most deeply rooted essence. The shawl becomes the common thread of this café.
