Flamenco Fiesta 2018--Monet's Moon
Compañia Chuscales y Mina Fajardo in conjunction with Teatro Paraguas present a flamenco concert inspired by the art of Claude Monet under the direction of choreographer and dancer Mina Fajardo entitled Monets Moon.
Mina Fajardo and assistant director Monze Diaz have created an unique and riveting homage to the great French Impressionist painter, Claude Monet (1840-19260. Fajardo writes:
We have turned the beauty of (Monets) painting with a brush to painting with our bodies and shoes to the compas (flamenco rhythms) of the guitar. We have turned a delicate stroke of a brush into a delicate floreo (handwork). A dip of a brush into a tacon (heel) on to the floor. We use our bodies as a brush, the walls as our canvas, and the guitar to feed our imagination. We take Monet's joy in his paintings to inspire a Seguiriya & Alegrias with bata de cola. We translate his pain with a Solea, his innocence with a Garrotin, and his love with Tientos y Tangos.
Joining Mina Fajardo and Monze Diaz is a third dancer, Sveta Backhaus. Joining them onstage is special guest singer Roberto Zamora, a renowned flamenco singer and painter from San Francisco, and guitarist Eloy Cito Gonzales.
La Compañia Chuscales y Mina Fajardo has performed many original concerts with dramatic themes at Teatro Paraguas, beginning in 2013. These include Flamenco x3 (2015), Una Nota de Lorca (2016), Choreography & Calligraphy (2017), Dance with Spirit (2017), and Carmen la Golondrina (2018).
