Premiered by Compañía Nacional de Danza at the Festival Internacional de Danza de Itálica in Seville, June 22nd, 1991.
Kaburías is a solo inspired by Leo Bouwer's guitar music. The choreographer recalls the spell of flamenco employing the confrontation between two worlds: that of Kabuki and that of Flamenco ("bulerias": traditional Andalusian song and dance).
This solo is structured in two
parts: in the first part, the
dancer's movements remind us
of the world of Kabuki. And,
in the second part, one can appreciate
the influence of the art of flamenco,
accentuated by the wardrobe (skirts
and flounces).
