SPAIN arts & culture's Spring / Summer 2018 Program

2018 SPANISH CULTURAL PROGRAM / U.S. Spring / Summer

COVER BY

Daniel Muñoz Born and residing in Moraleja (Spain), Daniel Muñoz started his career in the early nineties by painting on the walls of his native town. After many years of self-study, mostly focused on mural paintings, he shifted to the city of Madrid in the year 2000 to begin his studies in Fine Arts at the Complutense University. In the early years of his career in Madrid, he began to perform painting displays and interpositions in various Spanish and European cities. His work was then influenced by a plastic evolution and he established sketching as his main language tool.

Since the beginning, Daniel Muñoz’s work has been relatively figurative, since he initiated his career by exclusively using public spaces as the main medium of exchange. By doing so, he made his messages recognizable for most people, without socio-economic differentiation between the masses.

Throughout his journey, he has executed numerous painting displays and interpositions in various public spaces of Europe, North and South America, Asia and the Middle East. He has also participated actively in a number of exhibition rooms such as the Luis Adelantado Gallery in Valencia, the BACC Museum of Bangkok, CEART (Fuenlabrada, Spain) or the National Gallery of Amman in Jordan. His work has been published in numerous well-reputed artistic publications and books.

Daniel Muñoz

As both the cities of New Orleans and San Antonio launch their tricentennial celebrations in 2018, we are reminded of our common path and of the countless bonds that connect Spain to the United States, where Hispanic communities of various backgrounds can also trace their cultural roots. As a tribute to Spain´s architectural legacy that has shaped cities and urban planning, our catalogue’s cover is the artwork of muralist Daniel Muñoz. He will have the opportunity to leave his imprint on San Antonio´s public art.

Spain will be proud to contribute to both commemorations. A flagship exhibit will be “500 years of Spanish Painting from the Museums of Madrid” featuring great masters at the San Antonio Museum of Art where, additionally, contemporary artist Maider Lopez will make a site specific intervention. Olé San Antonio at the Pearl will present a rich program of arts and crafts, culinary and performing arts inviting different artists and musicians from Spain.

“Recovered Memories: Spain, New Orleans and the Support for the American Revolution”, displayed at the Cabildo of the Louisiana State Museum, will highlight the decisive diplomatic support, financial aid, and military action of the Spanish crown in the Revolutionary war, and will shed light to little known facts about the broader historical context of Spanish Louisiana.

Santiago Ramón y Cajal, the father of modern neuroscience will be honored in “The Beautiful Brain: The Drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal”. The exhibit will be presented in NY and Boston, and will display 80 of his drawings, both artworks and blueprints for understanding the nervous system, which in turn will be put in contrast with modern discoveries of the brain made at the MIT. This season, we will bring a taste of the thriving contemporary dance scene of Spain.

Prominent choreographer Sharon Fridman and his troupe will perform at Jacob’s Pillow alongside two superb dance companies, Marcat and Carmen Fumero who will show their works in a week of Spanish dance in the Berkshires. In addition, we will continue our collaboration with the American Dance Festival in Durham, NC, where Joaquin Collado will be in residence.

Our stunning state-funded dance companies will tour the United States. The National Dance Company will offer a contemporary and award winning new choreography of Carmen and the National Ballet of Spain will perform Suite Sevilla as part of the Flamenco Festival.

Performer Angelica Liddel and the mesmerizing Agrupación Señor Serrano will give us a glimpse into theatrical innovation of which Spain has been at the forefront.

We strongly believe in nurturing and propelling young talent into the spotlight. Hailed as a new sensation, vocalist and trumpet player Andrea Motis will take part in Stanford Jazz Festival. Acclaimed cellist Pablo Ferrandez will make his debut in Grant Park Music Festival. On the other side of the musical spectrum, a plethora of indie bands will perform at South by Southwest.

Last but not least, SPANISH CINEMA NOW and LA OLA will once again carry a selection of the best titles of the year in mainstream and independent filmmaking.

NEW ORLEANS TRICENTENNIAL DR. ALFRED E. LEMMON Director of the Williams Research Center at The Historic New Orleans Collection.

The very name New Orleans, Louisiana – bestowed in honor of the Regent of France, Philippe, Duc d’Orléans and Louis XIV respectively - reflects the French heritage of the city and state. Yet, the most recognizable part of New Orleans, Jackson Square, known as the Place d’Armes during the French period and Plaza de Armas under Spain, stands as testimony to the Spanish impact on New Orleans and Louisiana. The buildings facing the plaza are the legacy of the Spanish philanthropist – Andrés Almonester y Roxas.

A native of Mairena del Alcor, near Seville, Almonester built the Cathedral, Presbytere and Cabildo in the wake of the 1788 fire that consumed New Orleans. Together they create an impressive sight. Benjamin Henry Latrobe, architect of the United States Capitol, in 1819 wrote: “New Orleans has at first sight a very imposing appearance beyond any other city in the United States, in which I have yet been.” Later in the midnineteenth century, Almonester’s daughter Micaela constructed the two large apartment buildings that overlook Jackson Square.

Together they form one of the, in the words of architectural historian Sam Wilson, Jr., “most notable civic centers in America.”

Transferred from France to Spain at the conclusion of the 7 Years War in 1762, New Orleans and the vast territory of Louisiana was transferred back to France

and then to the United States in 1803.

For forty years, Louisiana was a Spanish colony and the impact on 18th century New Orleans was pervasive and long lasting. The first newspaper published in Louisiana was Le Moniteur de la Louisiane (1794). It should be no surprise that it was in French, though published in the Spanish period. From the earliest days of Spanish Louisiana, broadsides were published in both French and Spanish. Spanish governors married into local French families. Among such governors was Bernardo de Gálvez, whose contributions to the American Revolution were singular. Without Spanish financial assistance arriving via New Orleans, the result of that conflict could have been significantly different. The Crown welcomed and encouraged immigrants from the Canary Islands, Malaga and displaced Acadians into La Luisiana. New Orleans, a city rich in operatic tradition, can proudly claim that the first opera, though French - André-Modeste Grétry’s Sylvain, was presented during the Spanish period (1796).

New Orleans supported a growing artistic community including the portrait painter José de Salazar of Mexico and composer Vicente Llorca, a native of Valencia.

Patent of Nobility for Don Bernardo de Galvez

With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, New Orleans was ostensibly transformed into an “American City.” However, actions on the part of Spain insured that the links to Europe were extended. As Napoleon invaded Spain, authorities in Cuba, fearing the presence of a large exiled French community, expelled the refugees from St. Dominque who had found safe haven in Cuba. Resettling in New Orleans in 1809, their presence doubled the size of the city. As a result, the French – and Spanish - influence remained strong. During the 19th century, 37 Spanish newspapers were published in New Orleans. Both the French L’Abeille de la Nouvelle-Orleans and the English Times-Democrat included Spanish sections. In the 19th century, the musical impact of Spain on New Orleans continued to be strong. Prior to 1820 the overture to Vicente Martín y Soler’s opera “Una cosa rara” was performed. In 1859, Francisco Asenjo Barbieri set his zarzuela “Entre mi mujer y el negro” in New Orleans and celebrated the city’s coffee and culinary delights. During the 1884-1885 World’s industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition, the Spanish world, particularly Mexico, used it as a venue to showcase their talents and resources.

In the twentieth century numerous initiatives were undertaken to strengthen the relationship with the Spanish World. The lavishly illustrated monthly El Mercurio, published from 1911 to 1920, sought to develop the relation between New Orleans and the Spanish world. During the same period, Tulane University’s College of Commerce and Business Administration offered courses designed to develop Spanish and Latin American markets and the New Orleans Board of Trade encouraged public schools to offer classes in Spanish. A Spanish children’s theater was established in 1917 in the very heart of the Vieux Carré.

Today, tourists from across the world marvel at Almonaster’s legacy - Jackson Square. St. Louis Cemetery I, built on ground given by Carlos IV, introduces visitors to the city’s ethnic diversity. Tourists traveling on the historic streetcars marvel at the architecture of St. Charles Avenue, named for that same monarch. A vibrant Spanish language community was critical to the city’s recovery after the tragic Hurricane Katrina. New Orleans remains, to this day, a Spanish city.

SAN ANTONIO TRICENTENNIAL San Antonio is commemorating its Tricentennial throughout 2018 with celebratory events encompassing arts, culture, history, education, service, and volunteerism across the city. The Spanish government has been an ardent partner and supporter in this effort, helping to bring art, music, lectures, and film series to San Antonio throughout the year that honor the city’s Spanish history and heritage.

KATIE LUBER, PH.D. The Kelso Director of the San Antonio Museum of Art, and Honorary Board Member of The Tricentennial Commission.

The City of San Antonio was founded three-hundred years ago as a strategic outpost of presidios and missions on the edge of northern New Spain. The river and surrounding area were named after St. Anthony of Padua by Spanish explorers. By the 18th century, San Antonio had become a bulwark for the Spanish against encroachment from the French. The city became a place of confluence for cultures, languages, and sometimes conflicting traditions. With the foundation of the mission San Antonio de Valero in 1718 and the establishment of a presidio, San Antonio was born. Wave after wave of settlers followed, including a large group of Canary Islanders, who arrived in 1731. Soon the site became the largest Spanish, and later Mexican, settlement in Texas. Today, San Antonio is the seventh largest city in the United States and maintains strong ties with its Spanish roots.

Highlights include the San Antonio Museum of Art’s major special exhibition, Spain: 500 Years of Spanish Painting from the Museums of Madrid, and Olé San Antonio, which consists of dedicated arts and culture programming presenting Spanish art forms across the San Antonio.

On view from June 22-September 16, 2018, Spain: 500 Years of Spanish Painting from the Museums of Madrid is a comprehensive survey of 50 works from Spain that will only be seen in San Antonio. These works come from the most important museums in Madrid, including the Museo Nacional del Prado. Some of the artists included are El Greco, Murillo, Velazquez, Ribera, Zurbaran, Madrazo, Sorolla, and Zuloaga.

The exhibition will be accompanied by an illustrated catalogue and a full complement of education programming for audiences of all ages. The opening of the exhibition will be celebrated with a museum ball.

To celebrate contemporary art during the Tricentennial, the San Antonio Museum of Art is working with the Embassy of Spain in Washington DC to develop a work of art with contemporary artist Maider Lopez, who is known for her interventions in museums and public spaces. Maider will give a lecture in San Antonio in March to introduce her project. The Spanish government is also supporting a public mural by Daniel Muñoz, also known as SAN, a noted muralist. Muñoz is known for investigating human behavior and social relationships in his work.

The Summer program “Olé San Antonio” will introduce the citizens of San Antonio to different aspects of Spanish arts and culture at The Pearl. For twelve weeks between June 21 and September 16, the San Antonio Museum of Art will host lecture series, film festivals, visiting Spanish artists, and a weekly street-festival-inspired late evening featuring flamenco lessons, cooking demonstrations, poetry readings, dance, music, and artmaking, most of which will be free to the public.

The San Antonio Museum of Art will also host two three-day contemporary film festivals, and will dedicate its summer series, Family Flicks, to films from and about Spain. Spanish Cinema Now, organized by SPAIN Arts and Culture, brings together box-office hits and lowbudget independent films to introduce audiences to the breadth of Spanish cinema. Mujeres de Cine: Traveling Spanish Film Showcase Made by Women celebrates women directors at the forefront of Spanish cinema.

Two major lecture series explore the works on view in the Spain exhibition.

The Director’s Lecture Series will welcome speakers from the Museums of Madrid who have generously lent works to the exhibition.

In addition, the San Antonio Museum of Art will revive its popular Art History 101 lecture series, offering attendees the opportunity to look closely at a single artist or work from the exhibition. The museum will close the exhibition with a special Behind the Scenes talk with paintings conservator Zahira Velez, who will share with guests her experience working on Velázquez’ Las Meninas.

San Antonio Museum of Art

Spanish musicians also feature prominently.

Organized by Musical Bridges Around the World, renowned Galician bagpipe player Cristina Pato performed in a special Tricentennial concert in early February.

San Antonio’s Tricentennial Commission intends for this extensive programming to offer an immersive experience to its visitors.

Together, the wealth of culture and arts programming will remind San Antonio’s visitors of the deep cultural ties and affection between San Antonio and Spain.

Few people, other than historians, are fully aware of Spain’s role in the American Revolutionary War. Even before the signing of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, the Spanish Crown had been providing money, arms and supplies to the thirteen colonies. Recovered Memories seeks to provide the visitor with an engaging and carefully documented survey of Spain’s contribution to the founding of the United States. Moving through four exhibition spaces, the viewer will learn about the Enlightenment in Spain during the late 18th century, about men and women who lived through this age of reform and revolution, about an international war featuring military engagements on land and sea, in Europe and America; and, finally, about leading Spanish and American figures involved in the long standing relationship between the two countries. The exhibition also focuses on the traces left by the Spanish presence in the United States, particularly in New Orleans, Louisiana and Spain’s social, cultural and business ties to the United States from the late 19th century to the modern day.

LA FLORIDA. INTERACTIVE DIGITAL ARCHIVE

DANIEL MUÑOZ

“La Florida” represents a unique collaborative initiative, combining innovative research in the humanities with cutting-edge technology.

The site offers users an interactive, multidisciplinary, and comprehensive perspective of colonial Florida history, blending images, maps, videos, and documents. It houses a searchable and comprehensive population database, allowing researchers to explore the lives of the thousands of men and women who helped shape Florida’s colonial past. “La Florida” is both dynamic and organic, with exciting new content added regularly. The collaborative nature of this project will bring together historical content and technical innovation in ways we could not have imagined a decade ago.

Daniel Muñoz arrives to San Antonio Texas for a public art project to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the city. Daniel started his career in the early nineties by painting on the walls of his hometown of Moraleja in Spain.

His language consists of various codes and symbols that invite us to interpret them in a careful manner, keeping in mind both classical painting narratives and the social narratives of contemporary art. Before his arrival in TX, Daniel will visit Washington DC to create a painting display in the Former Residence of the Ambassadors of Spain.

MAIDER LOPEZ WARHOL AT SAN ANTONIO DIED HERE MUSEUM OF ART Basque artist Maider López will create a site-specific intervention at the San Antonio Museum of Art. The artist’s work interrupts norms in space and architecture, inviting us to experience common spaces in novel and potentially rewarding ways. She creates interventions in spaces, situations, and architecture. Her works often involve the active participation of the viewer and can take the unprepared by surprise as an aspect of a familiar space mischievously highlighted or altered.

Following the installation “Picasso died here” at the Alliance Française in Malaga, Spain, Eugenio Merino and Los Interventores, present “Warhol Died Here”. The work invites the visitor to reflect upon the use of art and culture to nurture the necessities of global capitalism.The hyper-realism of Merino’s artwork highlights the conflict between reality and fiction within the touristic act.

The project reflects upon the paradox of the touristic experience, whose exit door normally happens to be a souvenir shop.

ZURBARÁN’S JACOB AND HIS TWELVE SONS

MEMORY, MIND, MATTER: THE SCULPTURE OF EDUARDO CHILLIDA

In collaboration with the Meadows Museum, Dallas, Texas, and The Auckland Project, County Durham, England, The Frick Collection has organized an exhibition of Jacob and His Twelve Sons, an ambitious series of thirteen paintings that depict over life-size figures from the Old Testament. On loan from Auckland Castle, the works by the Spanish Golden Age master Francisco de Zurbarán (1598–1664) have never before traveled to the United States.

The Meadows Museum at SMU presents Dallas’s first museum exhibition dedicated exclusively to the work of Eduardo Chillida (1924-2002). Chillida, one of Spain’s most celebrated modern sculptors, is famous for his monumental iron and stone sculptures that shape both urban and rural landscapes.

Sixty-six works on loan from the Museo Chillida-Leku in Hernani (San Sebastián, Spain) provide visitors with a view of the artist at the height of his powers. A complimentary exhibition, “Chillida in Dallas: ‘De Musica’ at the Meyerson,” focuses on the landmark commission by Chillida at Dallas’s Meyerson Symphony Center.

SPANISH COLONIAL PAINTINGS FROM THE THOMA COLLECTION

Artist Antoni Muntadas work is showcased at Before Projection: Video Sculpture 19741995. The exhibition shines a spotlight on a historical moment and a body of work in the history of media art that has been largely overlooked since its inception. This tightly focused survey exhibition features works that have been rarely seen in the last twenty years. Other artists in the exhibition are Dara Birnbaum, Ernst Caramelle, Takahiko Iimura, Shigeko Kubota, Mary Lucier, Tony Oursler, Nam June Paik, Friederike Pezold, Adrian Piper, Diana Thater, and Maria Vedder.

In the 16th century, Spanish artists traveled to Latin America to meet the huge demand for artistic creations in newly established religious institutions. Sometimes, family workshops were founded that lasted generations. By the 17th century, artists born in Latin America began to dominate, and new styles and idioms emerged that had less and less to do with European origins. The 18th century saw the full flowering of Spanish colonial art, as regional schools and academies developed and influential patrons demanded both religious and secular paintings of the highest quality.

The Beautiful Brain: The Drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal

Santiago Ramón y Cajal (Spain, 1852-1934), considered the father of modern neuroscience, seamlessly blends his scientific discoveries and artistic abilities in his works. Through exquisite and vibrant drawings, Ramon y Cajal is able to reveal great details of the brain through artwork. His depictions of the brain—which combine cutting-edge scientific knowledge with consummate draftsmanship—offer much greater clarity than photographs, so much so that they are still in wide use today. Featuring approximately 80 of Cajal’s drawings, the show situates them within the history of scientific illustration from the 16th to 19th centuries, and juxtaposes them with contemporary visualizations of the brain. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated book published by Abrams Books.

In an effortless blend of science and creativity Santiago Ramon y Cajal illustrates the structure and function of the brain in his revolutionary drawings.

LANZA ATELIER

EUROPEAN LITERATURE NIGHT 2018

SFMOMA introduces three projects by Mexico City-based architecture firm LANZA Atelier, comprising architects Isabel Abascal and Alessandro Arienzo. Founded in 2015, LANZA Atelier has quickly earned accolades for their precise and thoughtful approach, underscoring the relevance of design in everyday interactions. In their first solo show in the U.S., the duo draws upon their interest in Mexico City’s architectural history, bringing communities together through architectural interventions, and repurposing existing infrastructure for public benefit.

These three projects range in scale, from furniture to large-scale public works.

The European Literature Night brings to New York a series of staged readings of books

by European authors. In the “New York Notebook”, poet José Hierro establishes a dialogue with the city and, through that dialogue, confronts an intense and emotional meditation about the enigmas that have since the beginning of time worried men: life, love, the passing of time, death, art (music, poetry, the transgressive quality of words).

The poet doesn’t hold a dialogue with the city of anonymous multitudes, or the chaotic megalopolis, cold and inhumane. Instead, his reflection drives from discovering the singular spaces of the city, flowing with his moods, and being in touch with his interior needs stemming from his own cultural and sentimental history.

MOVING MOVEMENT: CONTEMPORARY DANCE FROM SPAIN LAURA KUMIN Executive Director of Paso a 2 Plataforma Coreográfica, a creative catalyst for contemporary dance in Spain, and director of the Certamen Coreográfico de Madrid.

Best of Yo Danza, phu @ La Intrusa oto Julián M artín

In an international cultural landscape studded with outstanding Spanish artists, contemporary dancemakers and performers from Spain deserve recognition.

The contemporary dance panorama in Spain is rich, varied and persistent.

Creative and critical approaches range from dance that explores the pleasure of movement, to conceptual work, sometimes bitingly ironic, that invites audiences to reflect on social and political issues.

Defining lines between the arts have been deliberately smudged. Movement has been embraced by theatre directors, new circus artists, film-makers, digital artists and architects. Flamenco and folklore have established a bold, sometimes sly, dialogue with contemporary dance that questions social and gender stereotypes and brings tradition firmly into the territory of cultural inquiry. Works by Israel Galván and Rocío Molina show just how fluid such dialogue has become.

Modern and contemporary dance emerged as a creative force in Spain in the 1970s and 80s, at first in Barcelona (where the Institut del Teatre served as a focal point), and in Madrid, later spreading to other major urban areas. The boom years during the 1990s, when international festivals began to present Spanish contemporary dance, and the Centro Nacional de Nuevas Tendencias Escénicas offered vital support at home, were a period of growth for established choreographers. It was the beginning of an international dialogue that proved crucial when the financial crisis in 2008 resulted in ongoing drastic cutbacks in public funding for the arts, making it impossible for many companies to survive. Rethinking ways to create and share work with audiences became an urgent task. Collectives and project-based groups led by individual choreographers developed new strategies for survival. Brussels, Berlin, Amsterdam, London… mobility is still essential for Spanish dancemakers as well as performers, who are valued in dance companies worldwide as impassioned, committed, personal movers, with excellent training and a special musicality.

Regular access to working and performing space to forge an ongoing relationship with audiences is a crucial factor in developing a dance culture. Since 2006 Barcelona´s Mercat de les Flors, now under the direction of choreographer Àngels Margarit, has been a reference for contemporary dance in Spain, with an intensive and varied dance and movement arts program. Other resources in the city include La Caldera de les Corts Center for Creation, supporting new dance through residencies, workshops and a wide variety of activities for all ages, and La Poderosa. Farther north, in Celrà, Girona, residencies are highly coveted at L’animal a l’esquena, a place for creative reflection directed

by María Muñoz and Pep Ramis (Mal Pelo), known for their idiosyncratic movement, theatrical poetry and imagery.

Under new leadership by Natalia Álvarez since 2016, Madrid’s Teatros de Canal and the 9-studio Centro de Danza Canal, began an ambitious program for dance that has already begun to galvanize the profession and dance audiences in the city. Coreógrafos en Comunidad (Sharon Fridman, Jesús Rubio, Babirusa Danza, Camille Hanson and Mey-ling Bisogno) work with the Conde Duque Cultural Center, another hub for contemporary dance in Madrid.

Festivals can bring new dance to wider audiences. The network for dance in non-conventional spaces, Red Acieloabierto, now includes twelve of them, spanning the country´s geography. Small independent theatres are another resource for adventurous contemporary work.

Nubes @ Ara caladanza

Contemporary dance in Spain still has issues with visibility but the shift towards greater community involvement and audience development is making it more familiar to the general public. Museums are also embracing this new exchange.

What moves these movers?

Here are just a few of the artists leaving their distinctive footprint at home and abroad:

— Veteran Cesc Gelabert’s exquisitely solos, splendid in their linear and spiral complexity.

— Sol Picó’s personality and feisty humor.

— La Intrusa’s marriage of powerful physicality and audiovisual content.

— Sonia Gómez or Pere Faura’s thoughtful, often ironically humorous performance works addressing social issues.

— María Campos and Guy Nader’s gradually-building complex compositions in space and time.

Sharon Fridman

— Roser López Espinosa, a structuralist with a sense of play.

— La Veronal’s cinematographic dramaturgy and visuals, combined with a precise, articulated dance language.

— Provisional Danza’s subtle theatricality and site-specific works.

— Losdedae’s dramatic fusion of movement and theatre.

— Sharon Fridman, one of three Spanish companies programmed at the Jacob´s Pillow Festival this year, makes sweeping contact group works charged with social and political resonance.

Oskara @ Kukai Dantza, photo Gorka Bravo

— Daniel Abreu’s luminous and poetic body landscapes.

— The primal female energy of Galicia’s Janet Novás.

— Hard-hitting Liant la Troca’s take on dance and disability.

— Aracaladanza’s magical combination of objects, imagery and movement for family audiences.

— Sara Cano, whose work with pioneer Teresa Nieto has inspired her own creative path, combining firmly grounded Flamenco rhythms with contemporary vocabulary in a way that illuminates both dance languages.

— Kukai, new perspectives on Basque traditional dance and music, whose successful commissioning of works by contemporary guest choreographers earned them a National Dance Award in 2017.

Consider this an invitation to explore further. You will not be disappointed.

CARMEN

by The National Dance Company

Founded in 1979, Spain’s Compañía Nacional de Danza tours the US with a work that is a statement of its compelling artistic direction. Hailing from Madrid, Compañía Nacional de Danza is led by Artistic Director José Carlos Martínez and it embraces both new and international creations, drawing in new audiences and boosting the company’s national and international projection.

Johan Inger’s Carmen is a visionary retelling of mythic anduniversal elements of passion and violence. Debuting in 2015, and winning the coveted Benois de la Danse prize for choreography in 2016, this contemporary Carmen tells the tale through the eyes of a child, with its heroine a courageous and modern woman, the mountains of Ronda reimagined as poor suburbs, the military now senior executives, and the bullfighter recast as a movie star.

The National Dance Company of Spain presents the award-winning new coreography of Carmen.

YERMA MICROTHEBY FEDERICO ATER MIAMI GARCÍA LORCA Stone transforms the achingly powerful tale of a provincial Spanish woman’s desperate desire to have a child into a parable of modern life. Making her New York stage debut, Billie Piper delivers a fearless performance as the woman—now a blogger and journalist—driven to the unthinkable by her obsession with her own infertility while documenting her trauma amidst the internet-surfing blogosphere of today.

Simon Stone—in his New York directorial debut—stages this requiem for lost hope in a glass encasement that transforms from a luxurious apartment to a garden to a wild music festival at an electrifying pace. Drawing in the audience, this unusual staging serves as an effective visual metaphor to imitate life under a microscope and lived online while heightening our sense of voyeurism.

Microtheater Miami is a unique theater experience where local artists share their best performances with the Miami community. The rapid-fire movement through rising action, climax, and denouement allows audience members to see several shows. Microtheater was founded in Miami in 2012 as a project presented by CCEMiami.

ROSANA ANTOLÍ: CROSSROADS (COREOGRAPHIES)

Author, director and performance artist Angélica Liddell was born in Figueres, Spain, in 1966. In 1993, she founded the Atra Bilis Teatro and has since created more than 20 productions with them. Her plays have been translated into various languages, and she has won several prizes, including the Silver Lion for Theatre at the Venice Biennale in 1993. As an avant-garde, radical and uncompromising artist, the hallmarks of her work are social criticism, heartrending expressionism, purity and the search for meaning through pain and subversion.

In addition to theatrical texts, she also writes poetry and narrative, and creates performances. For “La casa de la fuerza”, she received the 2012 Spanish National Award for Dramatic Literature.

Crossroads (Choreographies) is a multidisciplinary project - curated by Raquel Peula and Francisco Ramallo - that explores the idea of movement. Artist Rosana Antolí brings us a “collective choreography” with a new perception of transit and moving identities. The space and the circular structures filling it, establish an itinerary that incorporates old codes and new interpretations. The spectator is inevitably transformed into another element in transit provoking further possibilities for reflection where physical movements – and encounters – lead to psychological shifts. To think is to move.

Parallel events to the art project will include a discussion panel as well as a workshop by the artist and a presentation by the curators.

The Spanish filmmaking scene is emerging as one of the most fertile and successful in Europe with a new generation of young Spanish filmmakers who are winning great acclaim at prestigious international film festivals (such as Locarno, Berlin, Rotterdam, and Cannes). Despite their critical success, these groundbreaking Spanish films have struggled to gain access to the traditional distribution circuit. L.A.
