ISRAEL GALVÁN IS OFFERING MORE SURPRISES, AND THIS TIME IT IS THE INVENTION OF BAROQUE FLAMENCO. INSPIRATION FROM SCARLATTI SONATAS AND FROM A SONG AND DANCE RITUAL FORM A TRIBUTE TO THE TRADITIONS OF HIS HOMETOWN.
In the city of Seville, in the largest Gothic church in the world, the traditional dance of “Los Seises” is held three times a year on religious feast days, and is performed by a group of children. The event left its mark on Israel Galván when he was young, and as a result the flamenco dancer (the bailaor) from Seville now dresses in 16th century garment for a full celebration of the physical beauty and glory of martyrdom. In doing so, he has designed flamenco choreography, rounding the angles in a gentle version. Harpsichord, castanets and voices match his movements, producing unexpected effects inspired by tradition in what is eminently and quintessentially the work of Israel Galván.
