El Hijo

50 minutes (Double bill: 110 min.)

"El Hijo's package of raw talent and unmistakable craft will linger on in the memory forever."

110 minutes double-bill with Mufutau Yusuf's Òwe

El Hijo [‘The Son’] talks about the special bonds to parents and places, and how to deal with them. In a certain way, offspring understand themselves as individuals unloosening from the bond, yet hopelessly entangled in a repetition of manners and actions. Something which can only be partially explained because, at the end of the day, individuals always carry within them the echoing reinterpretation of their particular story.

 

"The visually powerful staging is impeccable. The music is thoughtfully chosen, with its persistent percussions. The dance is energetic and expressive, even in its quiet moments. However, lighting is one of the foremost reasons behind the play’s success. It grants colour and light a prominent and relevant role whereby the solo at times works as a duet between dancer and shadow." - Omar Kahn, Revista Susy-Q

"El hijo [‘The son’] distinguishes itself as one of those works that with its package of raw talent and unmistakable craft will linger on in the memory forever." - Mercedes L. Caballero
