Bolero-Medea

The shapes, movements and lines of this choreography caress the notes once composed by Ravel, blending the purest classical Spanish style with the essence of flamenco dance. The Art Nouveau-inspired set, featuring mirrors that reflect the beautiful silhouettes draped in silk of vibrant hues, contrasts with the austerity of the leather in the men’s costume.

Bolero (Teatro de la Zarzuela, Madrid, 1988)

The muleteer is an eternal traveller, a wanderer who traverses the roads, leaving the imprint of his passage behind. He carries not only loads, but also stories, scents and memories, immersing himself in the traditions and unique character of every place he passes through. In this constant coming and going, in this communion with the road and the land, he finds the true meaning of his existence.

Medea, a witch, magician, descendent of Helios, betrayes her father and her race, killing her brother and helping the Greek adventurer Jason, who she loves, to get the Golden Fleece.

Fugitives from the pursuit of Medea´s father, she and Jason live with their two children in Corinto, where the old Creonte is king. Creonte has an only beautiful daughter, Creusa, who is offered to be the wife of Jason. He agrees to marry her and disavows Medea. To Medea, eaten up with jealousy, there can be no justice, only a raging revenge. Here begins the long night of Medea.
