MUERDELIMONES [Lemon Biter]

A group sets out to find that which is inexplicable. They are ready to activate all the mechanisms, to rummage through the codes, to poke at tradition to the point of taking a bite out of it if necessary. In this tireless search they follow their own empty map drawn up with possible course of action; all they know for sure is that going beyond the limits is not a possibility. The lines are clear, but their destination is as obscure as it is uncertain.

The Jose Manuel Álvarez Company began its journey in 2019 with Bailes Colaterales and the piece Movimiento Colateral. In 2020, in a co-production with Dansa Metropolitana and the Düsseldorf Tanzhaus NRW, he created the show Cruces, an exploration of the dramaturgy of flamenco and the hierarchies that are established on stage, seeking to transcend the boundaries present in a genre with such a long tradition. Along the same lines, MUERDELIMONES questions the codes and shakes up the paradigm of improvisation, proposing an open and active process among its four performers.
