This Sunday, January 12, at the Nîmes theater, Rocío Molina linked the three eras of his “Trilogía sobre la guitarra”, a tender, virtuoso and inventive fresco.
Rocío Molina loves extreme experiences and the Nîmes public loves him extremely. In 2020, in the small room of the Odéon, she embarked on research around the guitar which would become a trilogy. This Sunday, after Seville and Barcelona, she danced the three episodes for a crazy day of dancing, acclaimed by three full rooms at the Nîmes theater. In this intense self-portrait, she reveals herself in a dialogue with guitarists with different styles. Linking the three episodes allows you to follow her in her exciting artistic journey.
In private with Rafael Riqueni
With Home (one)which the people of Nîmes had not seen in its final version, here is the awakening, the birth of Venus, in a permanent emotion, intimacy and sweetness. La niña, smiling almost from start to finish, appears mischievous, light, facetious, in a complicity full of tenderness with the elder Rafael Riqueni, barely kicking his heels. In contact with water, a symbol of life, she discovers the joy of movement, freedom, sensuality, to the point of becoming physically one with the scene itself.
Then comes To the Bottom Riela (The Other of One) and the virtuoso Rocío appears, with a breathtaking performance. The guitars of Oscar Lago and Yerai Cortes sound younger and the dancer plays with them in a seductive relationship. With the insolence that only talent allows, she shows all the possibilities of flamenco, dancing with the traditional dress with a long train or invisible, enveloped in colors. The public is bewitched by the inventiveness, the precision, the poetic and dreamlike power of each gesture.
Virtuoso and liberated
The performance ends with Return to Onein a frank complicity with Yerai Cortés, chewing gum and sparkling sugar. Freed, emancipated, with a caustic humor, she mocks both the canons and the illusions of modernity. His absolute mastery allows him, with relish, to push back all limits. With pleasure, in a trance, provocatively, she invents herself, reinvents herself. The girl has become an Amazon.
This Monday, at 6:30 p.m., fans of Rocío Molina will be able to meet her at the Le Sémaphore cinema for a meeting about the film The great lie of deathwith director Wu Tsang.
