ALICANTE MAIN THEATER
***
Concept and direction: Matt Golding.
dancers: Lucia Lacarra And M Golding
It was designed before the global pandemic and cooked after. During quarantine It was produced from afar and then continued in person with two figures in Dortmund, Germany, where it premiered in 2020. international dance Lucía Lacarra from Gipuzkoa and Matthew Golding from Canada are an artistic couple in real life.
Golding’s concept and direction, dream tripand in the quest for total art that tries to impose all creative and technical possibilities, the fusion of projections with dance steps intervenes. Lights, music and choreographers Anna Hop, Yuri Possokhov, Juanjo Arqués and Christopher Wheeldon.
Relationships and forced separation, uncertainty and hope form a montage without telling the truth, with both dancers trying to make the audience feel with six intertwined pieces. The fourth bears the name “Fordlandia” and musical notes by Jóhann Jóhannsson and Arqués’ choreography. He gives the show its name through the footage of the director Golden Kaftira. An empty theatre, a deserted beach or forest.
Choreographic numbers spread grace, softness, tenderness and mastery. There are repetitions in the contact between the two with any feminine posture, and we see neoclassical expressions on the arms, torso, legs and pointe work. It is mainly the support of the dancer and he has almost no opportunity to showcase his individual talent.
The waves stand out with a wide wavy canvas and the double in the middle. The elaborate music selection also includes Chopin, Georgy Sviridov, Jóhann and Arvo Pärt in the films “Stillness”, “Close”, “Snowstorm”, “Pile of Dust” and “After the Rain” (premiering in 2005), respectively.
It should not be forgotten that when a person tries to do something, the inevitable is done in order to achieve it. This is proof. This desire to fight, love and desire build that engine and the manager applauds him.
