What is the starting point of this project?
This project was inspired by the Spanish poem Las morillas de Jaén, written by Federico García Lorca:
"Three Moorish girls have captured my heart
In Jaén:
Axa, Fatima and Marien.
Three Moorish girls, so graceful,
Went out to gather olives,
And found them already picked
In Jaén:
Axa, Fatima and Marien"
What is its specific feature?
This project harnesses the physicality of flamenco to reflect the realities of the zone of conflict, particularly protest and the desire for social and political change.
Why participate in the Danse élargie competition?
Flamenco is often viewed through the lens of folklore. Danse élargie allows me to express its political and aesthetic dimensions within a broader choreographic context, as a form of physical knowledge rooted in culture and history.
Naya Binghi grounds her contemporary dance in flamenco, blending tradition with personal and socio-political narratives. After dancing with KCDC II, she moved to Seville. She was selected for the 1|2|3 programme at the Suzanne Dellal Centre, where she created a solo, a duet and a trio.
