[ Synopsis ]

The silkworms will spin all those memories that I have had no time to live. From fine silk they will leave embroideries on the shoulder of whoever recognizes his or her past.

I do not know who or what governs our existence, but, having posed myself that question, I realise that I need to pause to be able to live in the here and now; that I need to turn my memory towards a past future in which I can discover who I am and what my memory serves for. I do not mean that my breathing will pause. Rather, through flamenco, I would like to feel that it is not only through my nose and my mouth that I breathe. And rather than write a synopsis that tries to sum up difficult intangibles, I will create a new performance with the greater surety that my feelings seem better understood when they translate flamenco’s cante – whether a Soleá, or Seguiriya or Mirabrás - into dance. So, simply, I will allow myself to be carried along by the small things that I protect with so much love, and in that process all those who know me (not only as a dancer) will become participants, for they have shared in shaping the values that others, unknown to me, recognize in my work.
