Asimetria

イベント情報

A unique experience of this year’s summer festival will undoubtedly be "Asimetrías", by Andrés Marín's flamenco ensemble.

After his debut in 1993, Marín continued his dance career as a guest artist and choreographer in various countries. In 2002, he founded his own ensemble, with which he prepares resounding musical‐choreographic performances of flamenco. The source of flamenco is linked with Roma culture; its essence is singing, accompanied by guitar playing and dance. The performances of flamenco conceived by Marín are always something special. This is also true of "Asimetrías", a performance that was premiered at the 13th Flamenco Biennale in Seville in 2002, and which immediately enjoyed great success and standing ovations. Critics spoke of a different understanding of flamenco, which does not function as an intrusive sensation but rather as a source for Marín’s unique aesthetic concept.
"Asimetrías" represents a space in which dance develops. It is conceived on an asymmetrical perspective and combines tradition with the avant‐garde, depicting a search for an artistic portrayal of various views of the same event. The scenes that Andrés Marín presents on stage, and which in their essence conceal the conflicting nature of the character of flamenco, are accompanied by two guitars and three vocalists, as well as by atypical instruments such as the trumpet.
