About the event:
A contemporary dance piece of Dionysian intensity, set to Ravel's world–famous music, which is an ode to hope and to dance itself.
The Boléro, composed by Maurice Ravel in 1928 based on eponymous traditional Spanish dances from the 18th century, consists of two repeated themes that become more and more exhilarating as the piece goes on. Rubio Gamo conceived, directed and choreographed Gran Bolero at a time when “…everything was quite difficult and I didn’t know what to do. One day I listened to Ravel’s Boléro. Boléro is like an impulse, always forward. I went with it. Gran Bolero is a great opportunity to remember that there was a day when we decided that dance and music would save us from everything else”.
