Sueños reales de cuerpos posíbles

Two bodies transformed, two roads crossing. In the duet “Sueños reales de cuerpos posíbles“ - Real Dreams Of Possible Bodies -, dancer and choreographer José Galán and dancer Lola López show how it is possible to care for one another in perfect symbiosis. Inspired by artists with disability plucked from all of Flamenco’s rich history, by blind singer Niña de la Puebla or mobility handicapped dancer Enrique el Cojo, for example, a choreographic research project came about, focusing on dance in a wheelchair, sharpening the gaze on the difference in bodies, encouraging a reflection of the established art canon.

José Galán, who already delivered a thrilling performance at tanzhaus NRW in 2017 performing “En mis cabales”, enables new voices in Flamenco to be heard: His company supports the development of mixed-able Flamenco performance and questions normative perspective on disability.
