“I love flamenco and I love gypsies” – Line of Flight
The outstanding Spanish choreographer Nacho Duato barely managed to find half an hour in his work schedule for a conversation about the upcoming tour in St. Petersburg on November 16-17 of the Antonio Gades troupe.
Interview prepared by Lyudmila Mochalova
At the appointed time, representatives of the three parties interested in this meeting gathered in the service box of the Mikhailovsky Theater: the St. Petersburg TV channel, the Vaganova Academy and the Musical Theater and Art Museum. nine0005
Anticipating any questions, Nacho Duato said:
I don't know much about Hades, but I knew him and met him shortly before his death. I am always ready to talk about Hades and any other Spanish choreographer.
Then, of course, we talked about flamenco: this is the word everyone hears, this is how any Spanish folk dance is quite often called.
NACHO DUATO: Flamenco is not a Spanish dance at all , it exists mainly in the south, in Andalusia, and is danced mainly by gypsies. When flamenco is danced in, say, Barcelona, it's not really the same. Not all Spaniards can dance flamenco. My favorite type of flamenco is danced on small tablados (stages), and no more than 20-25 minutes. It's like voodoo. In other cases, one must speak of the Spanish dance; there you can make large compositions, for an hour and a half, you can put on performances - “Love the Magician”, “Bloody Wedding”, “Fuente Ovehuna”.
Then they use the Spanish dance, the dance of the classical Spanish school, to tell the story. But real flamenco is different, it's not a game. It's like a religion. It's happens . You get inspired and dance for 20 minutes in a small space where the audience is very close to the artists. That's what flamenco is to me.
Flamenco means landless. These are people who worked for the rich; they didn't have their own land. They were called "flamenco". This is a dance for the minority, for the poor people, that's how they could express their life and anger and passion through dance and singing. Now flamenco has spread all over the world, there are schools everywhere, from Japan to Australia. Everyone is trying to dance flamenco. But this is not quite, or even not at all, what this dance really is. I love flamenco and I love gypsies. About two weeks ago I gave an interview on Spanish TV about the independence of Catalonia, about flags, Spanish, Catalan... I have to say, I hate flags.
They can be dangerous. But I like the gypsy flag. It is blue on top and green on the bottom. This is heaven and earth. And the cart wheel in which the gypsies travel. Wherever they go, they plant this flag and that place becomes their land. How nice it would be if we didn't have borders or flags. But I understand it's impossible. I love my flag and respect yours. nine0005
Antonio Gades was called the last romantic of the genre. Do you think they imitate him today or do something modern?
Do not underestimate other choreographers such as Antonio Soler, José Antonio, Mariemma, Cristina Hoyos, and me too. I don't work with flamenco, but I am a Spanish choreographer. But I think: Antonio was the best. He made flamenco international, through dance he made our music, our literature world-famous, through such ballets as Blood Wedding, Fuente Ovehuna, Carmen. In style, he reminds me of Vicente Escudero. I really like Escudero, his dancing language; and I love Hades.
He was elegant, he was a real artist, very stylish. nine0005
In November, Antonio Gades' troupe will tour our city. Do you think St. Petersburg and flamenco are compatible?
Of course! We are very far from each other, but in some way we have the same temperament: in literature, in music, in dance. A couple of glasses of vodka - and you have a Spanish character! You are very kind! And I'll tell you what: you have an incredible folklore! The dance folklore of Russia is something incredible! And Spanish too. We have flamenco, we have jotas - Valencian jota and Aragonese jota, and others, each province has its own, we have buleria ... Each province has beautiful dances. The Balearic Islands... There the dance comes from the Jews, from the Sephardim; they have absolutely incredible music, and melodies, and dance ... I think you care more about preserving your folklore, for your own reasons. But both of our countries have a load of history. nine0005
You knew Antonio Gades. Tell us about your personal experiences.
I met Antonio many times. He was a very, very nice person. We simultaneously worked at the National Dance Theater in Madrid. We were both theater choreographers, he in Spanish folk dance, I in modern dance. We worked in the same building and met from time to time. We drank, ate and talked about work. But it wasn't a real dance talk. I just admired them. I was much younger, I am now as old as Antonio then. But again, he was a very charismatic person. I also liked his ideas, I liked that he went to Cuba. There was a moment when he stopped dancing, sailed to Cuba on his own yacht and lived there for some time. He was friends with Castro, he liked both his politics and life itself on the island. I like it all too. We enjoyed talking about it. nine0005
Have you seen him dance?
Of course. He was not only a flamenco dancer, he also mastered the technique of classical Spanish dance, and could perform all the movements of classical ballet. He also had a beautiful body, very slender, with elongated proportions.
The troupe also brings his ballet based on Lorca's "Blood Wedding"…
Wonderful ballet! I saw him with him and with Christina Hoyos. I am well acquainted with Christina Hoyos. I was at her house. Her house is on a hill; we sat, drank manzanilla and ate snails, and under us was the whole of Seville ... She is a wonderful dancer, a wonderful choreographer and a wonderful person. It is impossible to separate a wonderful person from a wonderful choreographer. Great dancers and choreographers are usually great people. nine0005
What is "duende"? You have a ballet with that name.
“Duende” in flamenco is… I have already said that flamenco is a kind of voodoo, and here duende is a state of mind and connection with the universe, something like that. This is not given to everyone. But of those to whom it is given, we say: "He has a duende. " These are not my words, this explanation is given by Lorca. It comes from the gypsies. But in my ballet, the meaning is completely different - it is about the heroes of Spanish folklore, little gnomes and elves. nine0005
It is said that you were one of the best students of Maurice Béjart…
Really? I was one of very many there. It's funny. When I was at Béjart's in Mudra... Maurice really liked Spain, he loved flamenco, he looked like a Spaniard, he spoke Spanish, he saw Antonio, he loved Lorca, he loved Spanish dances, he knew and loved Spanish culture and music. Bejart knew that he had a Spanish dancer at his school. And there were people of about twenty nationalities: Greeks, Germans, Italians, Koreans, Americans and one Spaniard - me. And he was on the lookout for someone who looked like a Spaniard. I don't look like a Spaniard. And he asked everyone: “Are you a Spaniard?” And my appearance is more German or Swedish. I don't look like a Spaniard.
But he saw me dancing farruka, and understood everything: “So this is you are Spaniard!”
Do you use the Spanish national dance in your ballets?
No. But somehow it's in my blood. Although I'm not a gypsy and not even from the south. I feel like a man of the Mediterranean, I feel more like a Venetian than a gypsy from Andalusia. Athens is closer to me than Seville.
What about your Spanish dance in The Nutcracker?
There is a Spanish theme, but it is not a real Spanish dance. This is such a stylization, inspired in part by the costumes. Everything is made for classical ballet. This is a more earthy and more folkloric version than the classic pointe version: not pointe shoes, but shoes, a little more shoulder movement, but it's not real flamenco. This is Duato's fantasy. nine0005
On the posters of Spanish dance troupes, we most often see the word “flamenco”…
Yes, because it attracts a much larger audience.
Flamenco is sometimes combined with classical ballet or something else. But some flamenco dancers are looking for common ground with modern choreography.
Yes, that too. So many. I think even, perhaps, too much.
You don't like it? nine0004
Yes, not really. I was in Berlin, at the Spanish embassy, and there were two women – unfortunately I don’t remember their names – dancing something very modern, on the floor, in very strange positions, very modern, and with a little flamenco… I’ve already said, that flamenco is akin to voodoo or katakali, a kind of religious act. It cannot be mixed with anything, it must be respected.
And when Israel Galvan and Akram Khan dance together?
Yes, it's... They are completely different, but they are both very good choreographers and very good performers. Israel is a wonderful dancer, and very modern. This is modern flamenco.
Everything changes with time. When I do my classical productions here, they also say that this is madness, that it is incomprehensible. So what? Everything changes. nine0005
To keep the tradition, perhaps, you need to have “duende”?
Yes, of course. Very few people get it. It certainly was with Antonio Gades. And Christina. And Argentina, Mariemma, Esmeralda and other dancers. But these are special people. Just like in classical ballet.
Flamenco involves the improvisation of dance. How does this compare with the preservation of the legacy of Antonio Gades?
Hades did not stage flamenco. He just used his elements. This is a classic Spanish dance, bolero and the like. They have very good assistants in the troupe, and, in addition, there are accurate recordings. Everything is kept very well. Antonio's widow works for the Hades Foundation and she's very particular about it. I saw her this summer in Madrid, and she told me how they really take care of everything in Hades' performances: they keep not only the choreography, but also the costumes, scenery, lighting. nine0005
Antonio Gades' production of "Carmen" was shown here in Leningrad 30 years ago, it's scary to watch the modern version decades later.
No, no, don't be afraid. Feel free to go look. They have very good dancers. It will be wonderful!
“Carmen” is a common theme for everyone who comes to Spain as a tourist…
Yes, a common theme. But then again: Hades' Carmen is superbly directed. Excellent choreography, excellent dancers and very modern directing. In general, every real choreographer is also a director. Hades was a director, and a very good one. I certainly prefer his stage version to Carlos Saura's film. In the film, Saura was a king who treated the ballet as if it were an improvised material that cut the dance into pieces. But still, he did a good job. With his films, he helped to spread interest in authentic Spanish dance. The general public realized that this must be seen with their own eyes.
