If it is always treated as a “backdrop” or “support” to the music In stage action, how can we face a creature in which he lives in the center? Is it possible that behind all this lies the ambitious idea of ​​taking the art of action to its maximum expression?

These are the main questions I have received throughout the show SUMMA, that is: I am talking to you about a group of differences that are related by regular and traditional events. Just as if you were a “Archipelago” in which its “islands” have their own ecological processes, but are connected by bridges, waterways and other infrastructures from human ingenuity.

In this line, Manuela Nogales and his group introduces us to the scene that gives us a way of choreographing, lighting and interpreting each of the fragments of SUMMA. Now, the choreographies of Lucia Vázquez, Fernando Romero and those of Manuela Nogales himself, giving reason for these pieces to be represented in the same program, beyond, of course, giving tribute and dance to the music of Arvo Pärt. Everything else is the result of the final preparation of the conceptual process, in which no topic about the human condition “entertains” us, except that which is related to how a person behaves and even expresses himself in a way, with which pass it

It’s not okay to “go away” SUMMA to translate it or anything like that. That’s why I think it doesn’t need an introduction or explanation, in most cases, that people who write about art, try to be better mediators between observers and interpreters so that those who don’t have an idea with modern dance, don’t let anything pass you by. Well, this group of professionals has modified the way that few have dared to travel (perhaps due to their own lines of work or personal passions), to the extent that it is very difficult to sustain such a project dense and compact on the stage for sixty sixty. minutes of concessions, take for granted, its beauty and quality. It’s already Manuela Nogales Poetry in the Shadows exercise abstraction around the philosophy and practice of Kintsugi, while contained Night Shift He performed, until his last moments, a selection of music from the Arnold Schönberg repertoire. That’s where I want to go for me SUMMA stands for the production of what Manuela Nogales has been exploring, in order to correct the many questions that have been answering throughout the thirty years of his company, but he has not stopped doing the same goals that have defined his work.

Inside SUMMA We know the kind of movement and arrangement in space that we have already seen in other productions, but all that is under the parameters in which the great use they make, since a renewal of the personal language, it is necessary to find the key that allows you to continue to express yourself without the idiosyncrasies of the spoken language being “eaten” by whatever someone is trying to face on stage. And just like a professional physician face these kinds of problems, it is easy to distinguish who works “waiting for their retirement”, from who ignores retirement until they feel that they have left things in ellipses, not that (as I suspect it is the case of Manuela Walnuts).
