Parmenides, Carl Jung and Virtual Reality: The National Dance Company opens with Muriel Romero on a visit to joint reverie | Culture | EUROtoday

On the National Dance Company and the National Ballet of Spain, that are the 2 public firms that we’ve got across the artwork of motion, the magnifying magnifying ones often perch with extra improve. They are nonetheless public and consultant. And for the questions of how one and the opposite must be, what to anticipate from them and the way they need to work, there are as many solutions as opinions.

Last evening, the expectations flew over the Red Sala de los Teatros del Canal and deposited their nice load in two names: the National Dance Company (CND) and Muriel Romero, director of this group since September 1. The first massive premiere of the state firm had taken place since Romero acquired to the entrance. The nice change in fact was anticipated that the brand new particular person has been advancing and that goes by way of extra opening and avant -garde. And on the whole, the evening was served each one factor and the opposite.

#Inbatio spherical about the work For 12 dancers who’ve been seen inside the 40 Madrid International Festival in Danza, he rests on a speech as subtle as his title. It is a way, that of incubation; that Parmenides practiced in classical Greece to attain states of consciousness and unconscious move. A type of hypnotic journey to the therapeutic and involuntary creativity that Romero and the musician Pablo Palacio transfer to the current (with very charming futuristic dyes to what Black Mirror) and with which they suggest a disconnection of these infinite stimuli that encompass us.

In this sense, the intention of main an entire theater in the direction of joint reverie and a sure hypnosis, by way of a dance work, is a really highly effective concept from the scenic standpoint. That collective unconscious that Carl Jung spoke, which additionally plans on the present, positioned between the partitions of an awesome theater, has lots of poetic and even anti -capitalist. For the feat, the proposal makes use of a fancy expertise that interprets dance into sound, gentle and pictures. And right here seems one other fascinating concept: that of the dancers’ physique first, as a generator of the whole lot else; That is, investing that maxim of probably the most traditional idea of dance creation that claims that music first goes after which the motion.

The motion of incubation It takes place in two meters per two within the central a part of the stage. In this small house, the 2 protagonists, the dancers Gaizka Morales and Shlomi Shlomo Miara, within the function of iatromontis and mystone, respectively, include the narrative weight of the work in a voluptuous and exact approach. Especially Miara performs an impressive interpretation within the nothing -easy -to -down function and shows a really lyrical physicality. But there may be additionally one of many fragilities of the work: the choreography of the remaining 10 interpreters, which type a type of Greek choir of the long run, doesn’t find yourself combining at sure occasions and the drive is diluted within the coral. After the primary half hour, when the choir is launched from the white robes and stays within the pink (together with the black they’re the three colours on which the meeting is articulated, offering an aesthetic of nice energy and class) the dance of duos and trios is lacking for the present that the corporate may have performed on this half. In reality, within the first model of this present, launched in December on the University of Navarra (MUN) Museum, the interpreters had been solely two. The sum as much as 12 on this evaluation that has been made for the CND is just not at all times pertinent.

The 3D photographs that recreate a few of Carl Jung’s archetypes and interactive sounding, are wonderful at varied occasions and get the scenic feat, nothing straightforward, to assemble solidly with lights (completely fabulous) and interpreters. And probably the most fervent lack of motion within the choreographic (which doesn’t imply that there is no such thing as a dance), doesn’t forestall the enjoyment of this world scenic distributed through which the physique (away from the exhibition) stays the protagonist.

There might be those that suppose that the CND is just not the place to launch a montage like this, so dangerous in a number of elements. And there might be those that argue that, exactly due to this, it’s the proper website. In any case, the proposal with a dance and aesthetic set up format of the Young Pope Paolo Sorrentino comprises extra successes than weaknesses and is introduced as an entire sensory expertise, round a fancy and stable present.
