María Muñoz, Niño de Elche
Niño de Elche, a versatile singer-songwriter with a strong commitment to social ideals and a great ability to mix languages and María Muñoz, dancer and choreographer in the group Mal Pelo, known for its performance pieces rooted in a clear, precise cross-culturalism/multidisciplinary practice, meet to offer the public their own improvised dialogue.
Seven Moons grew out of the encounter between Niño de Elche and María Muñoz at the 2013 Flamenco Empírico/Ciutat Flamenco (Empirical Flamenco/Flamenco City) programme in Barcelona, a proposal by its artistic director Juan Carlos Lérida, in colaboration with the Mercat de les Flors in Barcelona.
Ciutat Flamenco provides a meeting point for shaking up flamenco, revising and experimenting with it. It is a platform open to other disciplines and in particular to new trends and emerging projects that work experimentally.
“In my research into uncharted spaces in flamenco, bringing together María Muñoz and Niño de Elche was a hunch. Orchestrating the meeting of two people who don’t know each other means gambling on there being a flexible affinity between their individual rhythms and silences. A challenge.
The rest could be seen on stage: an invisible flamenco in María Muñoz and a performing body through the voice of Niño de Elche. Perspectives that had never been seen before appeared that day, on the social, political and cultural nature of bodies, shifting my attitude towards flamenco another centimetre more.”
