A piano. A voice. Bodies in movement. A sleepless journey from dusk to dawn to evoke the mysteries of feeling, consciousness, and memory.
Through words and bodies, “Nocturna” proposes a dance, music and poetry exploration of the great topics and contradictions of the night, with the lucidity and hallucination of those who watch, those sleepless, party versus quiet... without overlooking the night as a mystical experience, as a visionary path and its opposite: the night as a game, as a playful ritual of identity confusion.
"Rafaela Carrasco's show was perhaps the best production of the last Seville Biennial. Several musicians have tried to encompass Johann Sebastian Bach in flamenco conventions, but few artists have dared to dance him as he simply is." (Jaime Trancoso)
