NO SE TRATA DE UN DESNUDO MITOLÓGICO

2012

ALL DATES

NO SE TRATA DE UN DESNUDO MITOLÓGICO is a work that takes up a series of female archetypes linked to representations of passionate attitudes from photography, genre and horror cinema or advertising. In these images of the body in ecstasy, of the body out of itself, certain positions are recurrent: position of abandonment, upside down head, half-open mouth, an expression of the face which recalls the physical exploit or an orgasm. With these gestures Aina Alegre creates a choreographic material and in 2011 she creates a first performance LA MAJA DESNUDA DICE. In 2012 she resumed the solo project and was inspired by the bodies of gymnasts, athletes, majorettes, Greek statues and academic dances, and continued her research into the representation of the body in ecstasy linked to physical feats. By replaying all these postures, often in a repetitive, almost mechanical form, in order to shift them or even make them slip, the piece becomes a narrative of figures diverted by the physical power that inhabits them. It revisits both gender identities and bodies in an extreme, even warlike state, a staging that questions the instrumentalization of the body and interrogates a form of physical fanaticism.

ESPECTÀCULOS BCN

We were at Sala Hiroshima, in Barcelona’s Poble Sec, to see Aina Alegre in No se trata de un desnudo mitológico (It’s not about a mythological nude). This Catalan dancer and choreographer, trained at the Centre National de la Danse Contemporaine (CNDC) in France, delighted us with a very personal proposal.

LIMA GRIS

The Indisciplinados International Festival returns from October 21 to 30 in its fifth edition in Lima, with a program of great artists and brilliant works of performing arts, which escape traditional formats and cross the boundaries between the public and the artists. There will be 11 proposals that invite to travel between intelligence and humor, between surprise, aesthetic pleasure and reflection.

Monstrous outrage of Aina Alegre. Aina Alegre came to strike a blow on the stage with her solo (…). You have to understand: the young Catalan artist is a dancer with a huge D. She shows herself – deliberately – at the height of the mastery of her intentions and her physical means (we will learn by the way that she is a former gymnastics champion). From the start she attacks with a spectacular movement of folding her leg towards her chest, with extreme fullness and energy. (…) All this producing an excellence of the sculpture of oneself agripée to the space, turning little by little to the monstrous outrage of its specialization. More beautiful the dance. And more frightening then in the abnormality of its ultra normative project. The uncommon is in itself first. It can make there serious problem. No, the dance, that does not have anything of “normal”. With Aina Alegre here is the thing acted, serrated. Leaving us blown.
