Noche Barroca
Premiered on 27 Oct, 2022, at Museo Universidad de Navarra (ES)
55 min
Noche Barroca is a dance project of Marta Coronado where improvisation marks the point of union between three performers, and sensual, dynamic and dramatic baroque music (all female voices) is the common thread and the main reason for this friendly encounter.
The choreographer shares the stage with two dancers of different ages and artistic paths: Laura Aris (1977) and Clarissa Costagliola (1997). Each artist brings their vision of movement giving rise to a dialogue where the individual dance language is represented.
It is presented as an exploration of the different improvisation approaches and use of musicality of the three performers: Laura Aris Álvarez, who has a vast international trajectory (former dancer of Ultima Vez/Wim Vandekeybus, Lanònima Imperial, General Elèctrica d’espectacles); Clarissa Costagliola, from the first generation of students of La Faktoria Choreographic Center; and Marta Coronado, a dance maker from Navarre, and former dancer of the Rosas directed by Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker.
“Dancing on Vivaldi’s crazy flourishments and dramatic contrasts and on Bach’s piercing tenderness and endless notes and melodies has been a luxury of a challenge.
This show is a rare pearl!”
