Andrés Marín: Dancing out of passion
Losing yourself in passion rather than losing your passion
Saint Augustine... or Kierkegaard, depending on how you see it
Much has been said and written about the dancing of Andrés Marín. It has been described as geometric, hieroglyphic, experimental and daring, and there are increasingly more of those who see in his far-from-academic silhouette – among the most striking in current dance – one of the most emblematic and creative dancers on the flamenco scene. Andrés Marín has already spent many years exhibiting his clasp knife profile and his graphic flamenco on the stages of the world, chancing all: appearing on a stage for him is a form of putting himself at risk, of questioning himself and also of exploring – and even probing – the essence of flamenco. A restless and passionate dancer, eschewing any kind of certainty, he is profoundly radical in the etymological sense of the word: a rooted dancer. He neither breaks from tradition for its own sake, nor clings to it out of a stupefying and sterile notion of its consecration: he has chosen a narrow path which has now led him to explore his own reading of flamenco, retracing his steps in order to rewrite it with the moderation dictated by his wisdom and emotional intensity.
Today we have this Pasión Según Se Mire, which is perhaps one of the dancer's most personal creations. If anything stands out about Andrés Marín it is the energy that moves him and the passion that inspires him: for the masters, for flamenco song, from the most absolute respect; and for his infinite admiration for his parents, his fundamental artistic sources. Herein lies his devotion to flamenco and out of this devotion come, as one, the superlative figures of the volcanic Concha Vargas, the telluric Lole, and the dynastic José el de la Tomasa. Artists and something more: irreplaceable evidence in his nuclear flamenco that gives body to this dialogue, echoes of an acutely present yesterday which future flamenco cannot do without.
The reading of passion that Andrés Marín offers us is opera aperta. He avoids any commonplace vision; he does not perform, stage or thematize but rather creates it, giving it to the audience to experiment with and inviting them to share the strength generated through his dance. The artist does not await the improbable encounter with it; he seeks it out, while allowing himself to be carried along by its momentum. And he has to move along a fragile frontier, in a brief interstice between pain and life force, with the body proud, sketching in the air an unlikely and defiant question mark in order to draw from it the most incandescent, divesting it of all its artifice and excesses. Converting the risk of being carried off by the destructive spiral into a potential creative force. Reducing it to pure energy entirely bent towards a single goal: finding the missing link, the Passion of passions.
