Amelia.

DON’T LET THEM CLIP YOUR WINGS!

 

We all try to take flight. We all look upwards when we are children and end up looking down to the ground over time. Amelia is the story of a girl that dreams about birds, clouds, and small worlds under her feet. This is the story of every woman for whom the sky is the limit and freedom is their only luggage. Marea Danza and La Teta Calva have held hands to take flight in this low-flying journey of feelings, to create a flamenco dance show for all audiences. 

Feel the motors and the propellers, fall silent with the bombs, through the beautiful and the terrible, let the singing of that canary that flutters in each of us seduce you. Amelia, don’t let them clip your wings.

Amelia, don’t let them clip your wings.

Based on the story of Amelia Earhart, the first woman to cross the Atlantic piloting a plane, la Teta Calva has created a show for Marea Danza where flamenco and contemporary dramaturgy merge. In flamenco and in the figure of the woman, we search for the fierce gesture and the resolution. The motor that roars in the storm. If the flamenco is quejío and expression, in this story we present a homage to all of those women that make problems a remote landscape, they grow strong and they form an alliance with gales and winds to demonstrate that nothing is impossible.

A SHOW FOR MAREA DANZA WHERE FLAMENCO AND CONTEMPORARY DRAMATURGY MERGE.

“Five women that will be five birds, that will be a storm, that will become five men, that will be five thunderclaps and five lost islands. Five dancers and two writers.”

THEATRICAL MODERNITY.

 

La Teta Calva is in charge of the dramaturgy and direction; Xavo Giménez and María Cárdenas are responsible for endowing this family-friendly Spanish dance and Flamenco show with intensity and contemporaneity, to represent a brave woman who demonstrated that nothing is impossible.
