Choreographer Sol Picó shines a light into the darkness of 1920s cabarets in Barcelona’s Paral·lel combining drama and dance
Malditas plumas explores the different episodes in the life of a character, performed by the prestigious choreographer and dancer Sol Picó, on a journey that shifts between tenderness and decline. The audience learns about this vedette of El Paral·lel and shares her memories and experiences… But what if she never was a performer and this is only her dreams, her lifelong hopes, her unfulfilled desires? Inspired by the genre of the Spanish revue and its picaresque style, this show plays with transformation, audience interaction and the blurring between fiction and reality, always with the irony and sense of humour that characterise the language of Sol Picó.
