Taranto Aleatorio, performance de La Chachi et Lola Dolores

La Chachi and Lola Dolores present Taranto Aleatorio, a performance taking place on Friday, May 29, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Michelet Garden.

Dancer and actress from Málaga, La Chachi excels in the art of blending her two favorite disciplines: flamenco dance and motion theater. Here, in a duet with singer and actress Lola Dolores, she brings to life the taranto, a flamenco style originating from the mining region of Almería. In the space of a few moments, the spirited flamenco dancer and the magnificent singer shatter the daily routine in a funny and exhilarating performance. 

Two women eat sunflower seeds, sitting side by side, outdoors. They share a simple, everyday space, a casual conversation, the intimacy of silence. Suddenly, dance and song surge forth, shattering the routine of this ordinary world. 

The Taranto is a sober, almost primitive branch of flamenco : a dry, a cappella song, without embellishment, just a necessity. Playing with the traditional structure of the tablao, La Chachi and her partner Lola Dolores bring dance and song together, transforming them, distorting them, assembling them.

From silence emerges a new conversation between voice and body, giving way to chance, improvisation, and sensitivity. The two flamencas then deliver an explosive and at times irreverent performance—funny and feverish. 

Co-produced by Le Nouveau Printemps and Place de la Danse – Centre de développement chorégraphique national Toulouse Occitanie.
