Dualia-Medea

"Our intention with Dualia was to deal with Spanish dance and breath in the youth and freshness of this generation with such a rich repertoire, reflecting ourselves in the colours of Sorolla’s paintings, seeking the complicity of pair dancing, interpreting the sensuality of looks, caresses, kisses, reminding ourselves of the great dancers our country has produced, to try to portray our meaning and feeling through the rasping of the castanets.

Thank you José Antonio, we hold your air within, this one is for you, maestro."

Rojas and Rodríguez

Cuarto movimiento (Dualia, 2007)

Segunda piel consists of three sonatas that represent a journey through my life. The first depicts the vigour of youth, the early years of a dancer striving for success. The second expresses the passage of time and the constant process of learning. In the third, I show the dancer’s maturity, experience, knowledge, and personal and artistic evolution. My story is made up of experiences and feelings. All the changes I have undergone throughout my life are etched on my skin, and they are what make me who I am.

Miguel Ángel Corbacho

Medea, a sorceress and enchantress descended from the sun, betrays her father and her people, murders her brother and helps the Greek adventurer Jason steal the Golden Fleece. She loves him and flees with him.

Jason and Medea live in Corinth with their two children, where the ageing King Creon reigns with his beautiful and only daughter, Creusa. King Creon offers his young daughter to Jason, who accepts her and repudiates Medea.

For Medea, a barbarian woman consumed by jealousy, there can be no justice, only a descent into frenzied revenge.

Medea’s long night begins.
