What happens when two passionate souls meet without actually arranging to do so? Is it possible to bring together traditional flamenco and contemporary dance? 'Dunas' shows conclusively that it is. The Spanish María Pagés has won several awards as a flamenco dancer and choreographer. Now she joins forces with Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. 'Dunas' is inspired by the undulating landscape of desert dunes, a place of perpetual metamorphosis. Live music with flamenco, Arabian and classical influences indicate the artists' roots. In their desire to lose and rediscover themselves in the other, María Pagés and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui relate to each other in changing roles. Sometimes as teacher and student, then as a mother and son, but also as lovers or opponents. 'Dunas' is the fruit of a productive collaboration between two dancers with very different backgrounds in culture and dance techniques. The result is a truly a work of manual craftsmanship, far removed from grand spectacle and entertainment. Let yourself be charmed by this intense but subdued performance, which overflows with the love of dance.
