RAYUELA
Rayuela (English: Hopscotch) is the Spanish designation for a children’s game that has been very prevalent in different cultures since antiquity. A game that challenges its participants to feats of accuracy, balance, and fun. Marco Flores uses it as an analogy to flamenco’s thousand-year history. With RAYUELA, he invites the audience to participate in a game that enables everybody to enjoy flamenco, poetic dance, and masterful music through its universal rules. With the works of his flamenco career spanning twenty years, Marco Flores embodies a hybrid dance with swift zapateados, subtle gestures, and unforeseeable turns.
RAYUELA explores flamenco on a dance and music voyage through the styles connected with siguiriya and folklorist fandango. It surprises with variations on the farruca and the stylistic wealth of the cantiñas and the cantes de ida y vuelta. Accompanied by the exquisite guitar of Alfredo Lagos and the deep singing of David Lagos.
