The interdisciplinary company Walhalla, Independent Art on Stage, presents The corner of Marcabrú, three different shows of poetry, music and dance, which will be presented for three Tuesdays at the Foro del Tejedor.
Directed by Ricardo López Espinosa, these “cultural evenings” are an encounter with “the best of the performing arts wrapped in poetry, which invoke the dawn of the theater through one-person or small-cast performances,” they explained.
In three different functions, The corner of Marcabrú will offer a celebration to the word, sound and the body in movement, in an invocation to receive Marcabrú, great conjurer of the arts, “to show us his alchemical knowledge of combining disciplines and genres, causing unusual synergies.”
The presentations will take place at 20 hours. The first, on Tuesday, November 23, will be Sea of sounds, in which Carmen Carbajal Trío will offer a concert of harp, jarana jarocha, décimas and zapateado.
Dance in verses
On the same day, Trío Nuria Rubio will continue with Between strings and poems, flamenco dancing and singing mixed with a poetic selection by Federico García Lorca. “Both trios have prepared a couple of surprises, in which they will merge both genres, seeking to provoke a kind of fandango,” it is described in a statement.
On Tuesday, December 14, Invoking Terpsicore will bring together Cynthia Paris, Gabriela Gullco and Laura Trejo, outstanding dancers of contemporary dance in Mexico, who will perform six choreographic solos with different themes, forming a small gala, whose “poetic movement” will be nuanced by texts by Nezahualcóyotl, Jaime Sabines, Pedro Salinas, Walt Whitman, Paul Eluard and Jorge Luis Borges.
Finally, on Tuesday, February 1 of next year, the cycle will close The spilled blood, an interdisciplinary show about the essence of flamenco in the poetry of Alberti, Cernuda, Gerardo Diego, Miguel Hernández, Emilio Prados and García Lorca.
The functions will cost 350 pesos. The Weaver’s Forum is located in the Cafebrería El Péndulo (Álvaro Obregón 86, Colonia Roma).
