MAJOS

  • Vondelpark Openluchttheater (map)

Majos reflects on and recreates the social phenomenon known as Majism from the 18th and 19th centuries in Spain. By exploring the emotions of resilience and disruption in the dancers' physicality and deconstructing elements of the Escuela Bolera (classical Spanish dance), Rodríguez explores a different way of dissecting and transfiguring some of the core traits of majos, such as gallantry, wildness, and flagrant charm. Within this work, he draws inspiration from a social, artistic, and political movement known as Majism, however, without intending to portray a linear narrative, he sets the work up in a frenetic world, speaking the language of a resilient rebellion.
