We have been studying the history of Spanish dance and folklore all our lives and, in some sense, it has always seemed alien to us. To domesticate and academise life, celebration, customs, is always a complex task. But lately, perhaps because we have gained some distance from the school, we have been falling in love again with this body that searches, that breaks down, that desperately tries to join other bodies, over and over again, through the centuries.

With our first piece we were looking for mothers, fathers, referents, in the Sinsombrero, the women of the Generation of ’27. With this second piece, which any artist fears, we continue looking for answers a little further away. Is it possible to speak beyond time? Are we capable, at this moment, of simply listening? Is it possible to imagine the dance of the future? Val del Omar used to say that you have to enter the night to be illuminated by fire. For us, folklore is the night of this project: an immense, mysterious and often confusing place, widened by legends, rites, festivals and dances that we have created around it throughout history.
