‘Paraíso de los negros’, flamenco choreography in the Canal Theatres

 

The Centro Coreográfico María Pagés is opening until 25th October in the Red Room of the Teatros del Canal Paraíso de los negros, on the right of people to happiness.

 

The choreographer María Pagés makes her own the spiritual and existential concerns of the verses of Poeta en Nueva York by Federico García Lorca, the essence of opposites distilled in the work of the same name by Carl Van Vechten, the telluric philosophy of negritude by Leopold Sedar Senghor and the vindication of black desire by Nina Simone. Everything to address the perpetual search for happiness. The negritude is here a semantically complicit echo where the same eternal conflicts that have Humanity kidnapped by its own asymmetric nature resound. In this piece we explore the human limitations that obstruct the right to desire, those presences that overwhelm the soul of free will. Paradise of the Blacks is built around a choreography, music, singing, lighting, scenery, costumes and a dramatic story that deals with the tension generated by these limits, whether real, fictitious, concrete or symbolic, and the consequent violence and aggression they have on human consciousness. Schedules and entries in this link.
