El Tablao Flamenco La Quimera brings to our days forgotten dances and songs, the essence of masters, who are the root.
They move away from technologies that did not exist in the 19th century, a stage in which FLAMENCO It was true, since there was only cante, guitar, clapping, dancing. Here they don’t use microphones to help the voice and the guitar, but they have to make an effort with their natural tools, they don’t use percussion boxes that cover up the bailaores’ errors in rhythm, or violins, or flutes, or staging, or any gimmicky resource.
The only two ingredients they use are heart and soul, seasoned with a visceral delivery from the artists who don’t have a script or a structural composition. Improvisation, emotion, feeling, what they call “duende”, flamenco face to face, as the great director Peter Brook said “one doing and the other looking”. If you give the truth, the viewer gets the truth, if you give everything you are not obliged to give more and if you get excited you will transmit emotion.
