22 meters and 11 centimeters is the long hair of the girl Sierve Maria, whose coffin is opened a few years after her death and they find with horror that her hair is still growing. A show that straddles flamenco and contemporary dance.
A girl's story Sierve Marie – it is a motif from the work About love and other demons Colombian writer, publicist and activist Gabriel García Márquez – inspired a dancer, choreographer and Hispanicist Yes Pandur, which is devoted to the study and research of flamenco. Marquez's work represents the starting point for a dance theater performance "based on flamenco movements, on the concept of magical realism and blues and flamenco texts, behind which is a man who strives for a better life", they wrote in the presentation.
The author, Ana Pandur, attracted renowned artists to the creation: the double bassist Robert Jukič and a guitarist Vita Marenčeta, theater and film director Matjaža Latina, dramaturg Andreja Kopač and choreographer Rosano Hribar. The performance straddles flamenco and contemporary dance and mirrors their relationship, pointing out the power of violence and the denial of the freedom to make independent decisions about one's own destiny and the individual's body - such as banning abortion, declaring madness, inciting fanaticism. ”These are the demons who, with the help of magical realism, in the novel About Love and Other Demons by Gabriela Garcie Márquez reflect the role of a woman, which has remained unchanged for centuries within certain frameworks. The trauma that leads to catastrophe is the sum of small, seemingly insignificant factors, and it continues even after death."
