Cola de Gallo is a collaborative project created in 2010 by EMBER (Laura Aris & Jorge Jáuregui) and LA MACANA (Caterina Varela & Álexis Fernández).
The title, Cola de Gallo, is a literal Spanish translation of the word "cocktail." In this context, it embodies an artistic metaphor— an almost spontaneous, short-term creative process where immediacy brings together our raw, primal essences, fresh and unexpected. Driven by a shared curiosity to explore the universe we could create together, the result has been a blend of encounters across Galicia, Barcelona, and Bilbao.
‘Artistic cocktail of four performers who stand out for their strength and energy with an exceptional technical quality.’Mes de Danza, October 2010, Seville (ES)
Created and performed by Laura Arís, Alexis Fernández, Jorge Jáuregui, Caterina Varela
Original music by Roger Marín
light design Double Track by Octavio Mas
Produced by Ember & La Macana
“This is a factory of meters after meters,
the prairie has only tilted to become a wall.
All our steps have followed a desire, and to reach it,
we have to lift our feet and step on it.
”
Together, they also created an evening-length composition featuring two duets and one quartet, titled DOUBLE TRACK (56’).

COLA DE GALLO
“…Cóctel artístico de cuatro intérpretes que destacan por su fuerza y energía
con una calidad técnica excepcional”
Mes de Danza, Octubre 2010 Sevill
Cola de Gallo es la traducción literal de la palabra cóctel. El nuestro es un cóctel artístico. Un proceso corto, casi espontáneo, donde recogimos desde la inmediatez las esencias primeras, frescas y repentinas. Resultado de encuentros entre Galicia, Barcelona y Bilbao. Un deseo mutuo por explorar el universo que se crea con esta fusión. “Esto es una fábrica de metros tras metros.
La pradera no ha hecho más que desplazarse de inclinación
para conversirtse en muralla.
Todos nuestros pasos han seguido un deseo
y para alcanzarlo hemos tenido que poner los pies encima y pisarlo
