Flamenco as the foundation for an unrelenting quest that stumbles, transgresses, and begins again.
In Los inescalables Alpes, buscando a Currito [The unscalable Alps, looking for Currito], María del Mar Suárez — an Andalusian choreographer also known as La Chachi — leads us on a physical and emotional journey between the tragic and the absurd, between laughter and despair. At the heart of the stage is the search for “Currito” — an absent, evoked, unreachable figure — and a mountain impossible to climb, becoming a metaphor for desire, faith, loss or love.
The piece blends flamenco with urban and contemporary dance forms — from krump to voguing — in a body that dances as if climbing. Flamenco erupts in spasms, twists, breaks, stumbles, and begins again. Live music, performed by two musicians and a singer, takes centre stage and draws us into a looping crescendo that thickens like an avalanche, leaving us to wonder: are we witnessing a concert or a performance?
Between confrontations and silences, La Chachi carves across the stage the winding path of an ascent, a procession, a search for someone who refuses to be found. She dances the unreachable — and we watch her as if from the top of a mountain, unable to look away.
