FRAGILE

Duration 50 minutes

Premiered at the Dusseldorf Flamenco Festival in 2016

Fragile, a work dedicated to experimentation and dialogue between Michio's electronic music and Leonor Leal's dance. Her concerns about the use of a common language such as flamenco, as well as the illusion of living together in a research process, results in this performance-show where an attempt is made to address the conceptual and expressive the fragility of the artist as a human being and in this case as flamenco dancer.

They also have two guest artists on this project: the contemporary choreographer Maura Morales and the multidisciplinary artist Ana Lessing Menjíbar.

 A reflection on looking and being looked at. On free exhibition and naked before the public of what one believes oneself to be. Of the fears that we accompany or the strength that comes with showing them, the challenges, the borders, insecurities, obsessions or skin-deep sensitivity.

A journey through emotional, physical or purely physical states. sensitive.
