From the development of a study and research work, united with the enriching musical and interdisciplinary exchange that Paula Comitre maintains during her stay at the Citè des Arts in Paris, results the flamenco dance show After you, madame. In it the task of revitalizing the figure of Argentina is undertaken, in a show that harmonizes tradition and avant-garde, nourishing from other artistic disciplines such as voice and text, as well as different creators of the current European scene. Thus, New life is given on the stage to the indisputable figure of Argentina, starting point for this encounter with contemporary creation. On stage, Paula Comitre's dance coexists and dialogues, the textile work of the artist María Alcaide, inspired by the original drawings of Bacarisas or by contemporary artists such as De Prada Poole, and the contemporary piano of the French composer Orlando Bass, with an important look at the legacy of the Spanish music repertoire of well-known composers such as Falla, Joaquín Nin, Albéniz or Granados among others.
The musical repertoire that Antonia Mercé performed will be the starting point of this new creation, and the basis of the musical concept of this show. In this repertoire you will find the essence of the flamenco styles that La Argentina performed., like the peteneras or tanguillos. This essence is transformed into contemporary creation that draws from the traditional source as a support for creative freedom..
'After you, madame' works with the transversality between the musical arts, scenic and plastic, and proposes a scenic proposal in which the line predominates at a spatial level in a game between inhabited space and emptiness., between space and movement. It is a piece about the importance of tradition in the cultural manifestation of society., about the value of discovery and learning spaces and about the impact of culture on identity. The team of Andalusian creatives that make up La Executor joins the process., those who work in dramaturgy, direction notes and staging.
