Solo – Israel Galván

Solo – Israel Galván

Contemporary dance | Flamenco

All by himself, Israel Galván explores the possibilities of his natural dancing in ‘Solo’. He’s well-known for his choreographic skills, and after having tried out solo dancing with no music coming from the most classic flamenco, the dancer brings this concept to the extreme which results in a completely avant-garde experience. Galván follows on Vicente Escudero’s steps, whom he looks up to, and who also danced with no music almost 100 years ago. The artist exposes himself and shows what he’s really made of. On stage there are no microphones, or backing singers, in “Solo”, Galván, makes music by listening to his own body, using the beat of his feet, snapping his fingers and even at times using his voice. A great chance to see how rich his repertoire is and how varied the unique language created by the artist who has opened the door to a new world of possibilities for flamenco in the 21st Century.

Dulces bestias – contemporary dance

Dulces bestias – contemporary dance

Compañía Nómada brings the contemporary dance piece Dulces Bestias (Sweet Beasts) to Jameos del Agua Auditorium, recent winner of five Canary Islands Performing Arts Replica Awards in 2018, the best performance of the year according to these awards.

 

Dulces Bestias reflects on the animal aspects humans have inherited, using animal attributes to transcend its own condition and overcome difficulties posed by nature. Roberto Torres, director and choreographer of the show, explains that, “today we’re living in a noise and asphalt jungle, with other “sweet beasts”…and we somehow yearn for a nature we are part of, and that we seem to be parting with more and more every day”.

 

The fur costumes designed by Yaiza Pinillos, Nature represented by Samuel Aguilar’s music, lighting by Grace Morales, and the “beasts” played by Paula Quintana, Daniel Morales and Paloma Hurtado, expressing their animality as they show their humbleness when faced with Nature itself.

 

The music, composed and performed by Samuel Aguilar,  also aims to connect with nature and become a metaphor of its sounds that are becoming more and more forgotten and unknown.

Orquesta de Cadaqués in Jameos del agua

The Orquesta de Cadaqués was formed in 1988 from a group of young musicians from Spain and other European countries who had clear objectives as an orchestral formation: to work closely with living contemporary composers, to recover a legacy of Spanish music that had been unfairly forgotten and to promote the careers of emerging soloists, composers and directors.

Ángaro

ÁNGARO, MUSIC AND DANCE IN A UNIQUE PLACE

Angaro is a musical journey through the folklore of the Canarian people and the peoples of the world through music and dance.  A fusion between the classic and the avant-garde in an unrepeatable show at the Jameos del Agua Auditorium.

Pianos, violins, horns… are mixed with powerful drums and other instruments such as seashells and shepherd’s flutes to experiment with dances and voices from ancient times.

A cast of twelve people, including actors and musicians, performs on stage a choral program composed of fifteen songs from diverse backgrounds. Among them there are pieces of their own creation, such as ‘Ángaro’, which gives the show its name; ‘Fujara’, inspired by music of Sufi origin and fused with flamenco influences; ‘San Borondón’, in homage to the magical island whose legend says it appears and disappears into the sea, and other compositions that version popular themes from different islands and are mixed with African instruments and rhythms and other traditional Canarian folklore.

Angaro, a spectacle to live an unforgettable experience in your visit to a unique place in the world, as is Jameos del Agua. Music and dance in a volcanic cave, transformed into an auditorium by the artist César Manrique.

ISLA SONORA

A concert in which the natural sounds and human activities of Lanzarote come together to draw a sound map through a journey through the territory in which we live, its natural and human spaces, resonances of our ethnographic identity and heritage.

Performed by a classical orchestra and accompanied by the particular way of interpreting the Lanzarote folklore of Los Campesinos, Isla Sonora is past, present and future, rooted and a sense of pertinence.

César Manrique is Lanzarote, Lanzarote is César Manrique

This sentence is the beginning of the text about César Manrique in the Müller‘s tourist guide about Lanzarote – and if you are on the island, you will quickly notice how correct this is…

Life

There are only a few others that shaped the island of Lanzarote as much as the artist César Manrique. Manrique was, among other things, committed to continue the development of Lanzarote in the traditional style and to abstain from buildings that are higher than an adult palm.This measure has largely kept away the mass tourism from Lanzarote and Lanzarote was not plastered with hotels.

César Manrique was born on 24 April 1919 in Arrecife, Lanzarote. He went to school in Lanzarote and graduated to a civil engineer degree at the University of La Laguna in Tenerife. In 1945 he attended the School of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid, where he earned champion for drawing and painting in 1950. In 1964, Manrique was awarded a scholarship from the International Institute of Art Education for the study of American art in the United States. But in 1968 he returned to Lanzarote and as an old family friend, Pepin Ramirez, was president of the island’s government, Manrique’s ideas had an influential supporter and Manrique was able to convert most of his proposals.

On 25th of September 1992 César Manrique was killed in a traffic accident close to his fundación in Tahiche.

Important

Since most works of Manrique are large visitor attractions, it is advisable -in case you travel alone- to visit these in the afternoon, as the large tour groups have usually already been gone.

If you plan to visit several properties of Manrique, it is advisable to buy tickets for 4 to 6 visits which are offered by the Centro de Arte, Cultura y Turismo. You can buy them at every sight at the cash desks.
