don\u00b4t miss \u00b4the arts\u00b4 this month, wherever you are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

by Norman Warwick<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We always love receiving the jazz listings for the following month in the UK, from Music That\u00b4s Going Places, or from Jazz In Reading or from Ribble Valley Jazz And Blues, or even when we hear snippets on Steve Bewick\u00b4s excellent Hot Biscuits jazz programme, and we always  become slightly envious  of all the jazz gigs going on over in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve arrives here on Lanzarote tomorrow for a well-earned fortnight\u00b4s break with his wife, but we will post details of his forthcoming pre-recorded programmes for the next fortnight as soon as he arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We previewed the Ribble Valley Jazz And Blues Festival in our post on Friday 29th<\/sup> April in our post at https:\/\/aata.dev\/index.php\/2022\/04\/29\/tom-paxton-troubadour-plus-news-of-ribble-valley-jazz-and-blues-festival-2022-starting-today\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

That festival is still on-going as I write this, and concludes today on Bank Holiday Monday, May 2nd<\/sup>.  We were delighted to read that, like so many arts organisations, they are are collecting donations to forward to help Ukraine in this dreadful times. If you\u00b4d like to make a last minute trip to the Ribble Valley Jazz And Blues Festival you can have a look at their web site for details and timings of their closing day events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also updated you Monday May 25th about Jazz In Reading events in our article entitled The Sveta And Slava Duo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Many of the scheduled Jazz In Reading gigs in that region are also supporting Ukraine\u00b4s fight as our posters show<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We feel certain that other art forms besides jazz are similarlry running events to rasie further funds for what is a humanitarian cause<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We hope organisers will feel free to include any relevant photos like these with their listings, so that we can reproduce them here and keep up the fight. We will seek to post them wherever we can and to share them with our friends various print and electronic media outlets. And then feel free to let us know how much you raised and what the response was like from the general public. By sharing good news as well as requests for donations we perhaps can sustain the energy levels and ensure that no semblance of compassion fatigue can set in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, now we come to Music That\u00b4s Going Places because Rob Adams\u00b4 filing has just landed in my in-tray. I haven\u00b4t even read it yet as I was still typing when it pinged, so let\u00b4s see what we\u00b4ve got.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u00b4s growing optimism this month as news of a new monthly jazz night arrives from the Beacon Arts Centre in Greenock, Scotland, UK. Star saxophonist  Konrad Wisnieeski and piano master Brian Kellock gave a taster concert on Saturday 3rd April and there will be a programme of more top Scottish talents which will generally take place on the last Thursday of the month from May onwards.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, piano marvel Fergus McReadie\u00b4s Trio to continue their album launch tour with concerts in Tobermory(Friday 6th)<\/a>, Nairn (Friday 13th)<\/a>, Glasgow (Sunday 15th)<\/a>, Nottingham (Thursday 26th)<\/a>, Barnard Castle (Friday 27th)<\/a>, Braemar (Saturday 28th<\/a>), and Stroud (Sunday 29th<\/a>). Forest Floor has had a fantastic reception. It went straight to No 1 in the official UK Jazz & Blues chart and among its five-star reviews and ecstatic responses from radio presenters across the world is a great quote from Dutch website Written in Music, whose reviewer described it as “the most beautiful music you can hear in jazz at the moment.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaelic singer and whistle player Julie Fowlis, is one of a group of prominent traditional musicians who will be helping the Scotoish National jazz orchestra to bring Scotland\u00b4s myths and legends to vibrant musical life in Tales of the Tribe in Glasgow (Thursday 12th<\/sup>) , Aberdeen, Friday 13th<\/sup> and in Edinburgh on Saturday 14th<\/sup>. Actor Blythe Duff, accordionist Phil Cunningham, flautist, whistle player and piper Michael McGoldrick and Breabach fiddler Megan Henderson also appear in this companion piece to orchestra director Tommy Smith’s brilliant 1996 album, Beasts of Scotland.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tommy Smith explores the acoustics of St. Ninian\u00b4s Cathedral in Perth on Tuesday 24th<\/sup> and at Quarryman\u00b4s Arts Centredral and then in Creetown in Dumfries and Galloway on Saturday 28th<\/sup>. As with Tommy\u00b4s solo concerts these will be a celebration of melody drawn spontaneously from the folk, Gaelic and praise-song classical music tradtions as well as Tommy\u00b4s extensive knowledge of the jazz genre.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jazz and classical music meet in pianist Euan Henderson and saxophonist Konrad Wiszniewski increasingly impressive (and it was great to begin with) New Focus: The Classical Connection at Jazz at St James in Leith on Saturday 21st<\/a>. Two brilliant musicians and consummate improvisers sharing pithy observations and informally imparted expertise makes this one of the major treats currently available.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone likes something for nothing and Glasgow Concert Halls are providing a real bargain in their free-to-view video series for International Jazz Day. As the pandemic continued to make live jazz difficult last year, singer Louise Dodds, pianist Brian Kellock’s trio, saxophonist Matt Carmichael’s group, pianist Fergus McCreadie and saxophone-piano duo Tommy Smith & Peter Johnstone recorded concerts for later broadcast. Along with the New Focus Quartet and the multi-cultural Anahata, their time has now come and you can access this great selection of music here<\/a> from Saturday 30th April to Monday 2nd May   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, my envy of such a vibrant UK jazz scene is at least balanced by being reminded of scores of events, all across the arts, scheduled on our tiny island of Lanzarote-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These include some art exhibitions and installations currently on show continuing until well into next month. We\u00b4ll try to sort out the chronology for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNTIL 14TH<\/sup> MAY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running until 14th<\/sup> May is Movimiento y direccion de Fuga Aclimatacion 1, combining the work of Gabriela Bettini, Liliana Zapata, Manuel Diego S\u00e1nchez y Racso Zehcnas, commissioned by Dalia de la Rosa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition project, curated by Dalia de la Rosa, presents us with an artistic discourse that investigates the processes of adaptation of foreign elements in a specific place through dislocations that break layers that affect identity processes or sedimentations that erase spaces to create new places in which fragile provisional balance occurs in the form of acclimatization. This is how we see it in the new forms of mobility on the territory that were generated from the gold rush in the United States through the audiovisual piece by Manuel Diego S\u00e1nchez, the productive models based on the wild extractions on the territory that is reflected in the work of Liliana Zapata, in the traces and violent interactions between the body and the territory of the visual piece of Racso Zehcnas or in the modifications of the natural environments after the nineteenth-century scientific expeditions carried out in Africa, America or Asia in the work of Gabriela Bettini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNTIL 21ST MAY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Running until 21st<\/sup> May,  Acaymo S Cuesta shows his work, Blanco corrupto (left)<\/em><\/strong> , commissioned by Dennys Matos, in Sala Cubo, – Cic El Almac\u00e9n in Arrecife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a long process of documentary and informative research on corruption and urban development that has occurred in recent decades in Lanzarote, the Gran Canarian artist Acaymo S. Cuesta, curated by Dennys Matos, has articulated a plastic and visual story from which to reflect and denounce, through a series of pieces and installations,  on three fundamental issues linked to the territory and post-truth on the island, that is, on the aesthetic impact of tourism corruption on the landscape of that island, as well as on the influence exerted by political-business control over the media to legitimize the “laundering” or manipulation of public opinion; and, as a backdrop, the validity of the legacy of C\u00e9sar Manrique’s environmentalist thought on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNTIL 27TH<\/sup> MAY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running until 27th May 2022 is an arts exhibition called Feura De Juego, featuring work by Carmela Garc\u00eda, Noelia Villena, Acaymo S. Cuesta, Sara GDM y Antonio Manuel Dom\u00ednguez, in a project copmmissioned by Adonay Berm\u00fadez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition project, curated by Adonay Berm\u00fadez, is an artistic proposal that explores the machismo entrenched in society and, specifically, in sport, through plastic and visual works of public denunciation that seek and expose feminist formulas that show situations of inequality in different sports contexts. In this way, we stumble upon readings that dialogue about the lack of voice of women in football (Carmela Garc\u00eda), hatred and violence towards women athletes in social networks (Acaymo S. Cuesta), the relationships between women, sport and motherhood (Noelia Villena), the links between women and football (Sara GDM) or the prevailing dominance of men in sport (Manuel Antonio Dom\u00ednguez).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNTIL 28TH<\/sup> MAY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also running throughout the month until 28th<\/sup> May will be an exhibition by DANIEL MORDZINSKI, \u201cNavegantes en la balsa de piedra\u201d, in The Casa de la Culture Augustin de la Hoz in Arrecife. This  celebrates  the centenary of the life of Jos\u00e9 Saramago (1922-2022)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this exhibition by the artist Daniel Mordzinski, designed and projected expressly for the programming of the Centenary of Saramago in Lanzarote, the Argentine photographer transits and becomes an emblematic interlocutor who enables dialogue between the Portuguese and Hispanic worlds and does so on a stone raft, in which the faces of the writers who inhabit his designed great island of cultural Iberism metaphorically navigate,  where literature and photography come together and merge forever in the memory of Saramago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNTIL 4TH<\/sup> JUNE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An arts exhibition with a slightly different flavour will run until 4th June at Cic El Almacen in Arrecife.  8 ESCRITORAS Y 8 CREADORAS features the work of Agustina Ayala, Inocencia Aldana, Daniela Mart\u00edn Hidalgo, Mar\u00eda Morales Topham, Macarena Nieves C\u00e1ceres,Inocencia P\u00e1ez, Dominga Su\u00e1rez Clavijo y Lola Su\u00e1rez, Elena Betancor, Rosal\u00eda D\u00ede, Flora Gonz\u00e1lez, Guacimara Hern\u00e1ndez, Isabelle Mathieu, Raquel Plans (an artista we have covered extensively on these oages), and Adriana Sandec with Rosa Vera<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To overcome the unforgivable absence of names of women writers in the studies on the literary heritage associated with Lanzarote this artistic intervention that has as a priority objective to publicize and value the work of eight writers hand in hand with plastic recreation, through the collage technique, of eight creators of the island,  in an exercise of visual expression where literature and art interact to vindicate the development of a new aesthetic and intellectual discourse signed by women from Lanzarote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eight texts by the writers Mar\u00eda Morales Topham, Agustina Ayala, Inocencia Aldana, Dominga Su\u00e1rez Clavijo, Inocencia P\u00e1ez, Lola Su\u00e1rez, Macarena Nieves C\u00e1ceres and Daniela Mart\u00edn Hidalgo inspire eight collages made by eight artists from the island, such as Elena Betancor, Rosal\u00eda D\u00ede, Flora Gonz\u00e1lez, Guacimara Hern\u00e1ndez, Isabelle Mathieu, Raquel Plans, Adriana Sandec and Rosa Vera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNTIL 4TH<\/sup> JUNE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be an arts installation, Identity Detonations by Macarena Nieves Caceres, in place at Cic El Almacen  and open to the public until 4th<\/sup> June, and again admission is free and subject to protocols in place at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organised by: Cultura Lanzarote – Cabildo de Lanzarote<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the artistic project “Corpus of absence”, exhibited in 2010 in Gran Canaria Espacio Digital, was the installation “Identity Detonations” in which the artist and visual poet from Lanzarote, Macarena Nieves C\u00e1ceres, showed this work in which she explores the concept of identity from absence, lack or lack with respect to anthropological origins,  using the zurr\u00f3n, a traditional element of the Canarian culture, today almost a souvenir, interspersing it and giving it corporeity as a current image on which to base a metaphorical discourse in which the human body becomes the territory of research and thought of a poetic and visual architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance “Mar\u00eda Magdalena versus Mar\u00eda Maccarena”, May 16, at 20:00 h. in the Cube Room of the CIC El Almac\u00e9n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there are new events opening in May, in art fields other than the visual<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3RD<\/sup> MAY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday 3rd May 19.30.A presentation of Madre, de Teresa Correa (right)<\/em><\/strong> will be given  by artists Teresa Correa y Adonay Berm\u00fadez  at Cic El Almacen on Tuesday<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the context of the exhibition “Mother” by Teresa Correa that was exhibited at the CIC El Almac\u00e9n between October 2021 and January 2022, the realization of this artist’s book by the Gran Canarian photographer Teresa Correa is framed, as the result of a personal process of artistic reflection around the anthropological investigation of the aboriginal archaeological past of the Canary Islands,  from her return to the Islands in 1998 to the present, leading her to reformulate the concepts of identity, time or memory, in the form of silences, rumors and dialogues that visually transit between visible (revealed) and invisible (undisclosed) reality. The book has had texts by Adonay Berm\u00fadez, Suset S\u00e1nchez and Simon Njami, with the editorial design of Vanessa Rodr\u00edguez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FRIDAY 6TH<\/sup> MAY and later dates.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you live on Lanzarote, on here on holiday at the moment you might treat yourself to a night at the theatre on Friday 6th<\/sup> or\/and Saturday 7th<\/sup> May at 20.00. La Noche (left)<\/em><\/strong> is a seventy five minute performance suitable for all audiences aged 14 or over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing of a Lisbon newspaper on the night of April 24-25, 1974. On the background of censorship, the desire for freedom and ethical debates, editors and editors dispute and maintain relations of conflict before the first episodes of the Carnation Revolution that would end the dictatorship of Marcello Caetano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written by Jos\u00e9 Saramago, this drama was originally premiered in Lisbon in 1979, five years after the end of the Salazarist dictatorship. In 1996 the Spanish version was premiered in Granada, commissioned to the director Joaqu\u00edn Vida, who returns to direct this staging faithful to the one made in 1996<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would very much urge you to put the following dates in your diary, 9th, 16th, 23rd May & 6th<\/sup> June June at 18.00 and reserve tickets for at least one of those occasions at Cic El Almacen in Arrecife to hear a talk given by arts historian, practicing artist and expert and enthusiast, Estefania Camejo, on the subject of Arts and Aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estefania is such a trusted ally of venues, promoters and artists that she is frequently employed to give guided tours of arts exhibitions and installations, and will be doing so  for many of the events listed here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have attended several of her previous tours, and indeed I have conducted a couple of exclusive interviews with her: one in my capacity as a writer for Lanzarote Information and another for own daily blog at Sidetracks And Detours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her ninety minute presentation will be free admission to the public with prior reservation available through the phone 928 831 507, providing full name, email, telephone and ID. Places are limited and will be confirmed through the email provided. Application of safety and hygiene measures according to current COVID-19 regulations. Organised by: Cultura Lanzarote \u2013 Cabildo de Lanzarote<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting from the premise of the need to explain and publicize the theoretical foundation that is associated with the artistic experience itself and the contemporary culture in which we live, this cycle of talks proposes an approach to the main concepts, postulates, principles and ideas linked to Aesthetics and the way of understanding the artistic fact,  from the informative perspective of the History of Art and thought, thus enabling both the knowledge and the analysis of the processes of meaning and interpretation of the artistic expressions of the past and the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estefania is an informed and informative speaker, delivering her thoughts and engaging with her audience through empathy and humour. These talks should be a real treat. We\u00b4re very much looking forward to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10th<\/sup> MAY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday 10th<\/sup> at May 19.30 there will also be a conversation between two artists, GALA KN\u00d6RR Y DANIEL JORD\u00c1N (right)<\/em><\/strong> , moderated by Adonay Berm\u00fadez at Cic El Almacen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The curator Adonay Berm\u00fadez proposes a meeting between the Basque artist Gala Kn\u00f6rr, who is in the artistic residence of the Hotel Nautilus Lanzarote, and the Lanzarote creator Daniel Jord\u00e1n, in order to dialogue and seek connections that allow us to draw bridges, see relationships and make readings between the artistic production of two creators who a priori did not know each other,  in the format of a conversation in which themes, intellectual concerns or strategies to which they resort to face artistic practice and other transversal issues of their respective creation processes will emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13th<\/sup> MAY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday 13th May brings us more art with \u201cBLANCO CORRUPTO\u201d, DE ACAYMO S. CUESTA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This presentati\u00f3n of the catalogue Con Acaymo S. Cuesta y Adonay Berm\u00fadez at CIC El Almac\u00e9n begins at  <\/strong>19.30 and will last for ninety minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the context of the exhibition “Corrupt White” by Acaymo S. Cuesta, curated by Dennys Matos, the catalogue of this project is presented in which a plastic and visual story is articulated from which to reflect and denounce, through a series of pieces and installations linked to the territory and post-truth on the island,  on the aesthetic impact of tourism corruption on the landscape of Lanzarote, as well as on the influence exerted by political-business control over the media to legitimize the “whitewashing” or manipulation of public opinion. This catalogue includes texts by Dennys Matos and In\u00e9s R. Artola, as well as photographs by Joaqu\u00edn Vera (from Bruto Estudio), the translation by Lena Pe\u00f1ate and the editorial design by V\u00edctor G. Moreno (from Estudio Sombra).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16th<\/sup> MAY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Monday 16 May offers  a Performance of MAR\u00cdA MAGDALENA vs MAR\u00cdA MACCARENA, (left)<\/em><\/strong> by Macarena Nieves C\u00e1ceres at CIC El Almac\u00e9n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The action Mary Magdalene versus Mary Maccarena is a performative nod to religious imagery, based on the mystery that makes up the figure of Mary Magdalene. The uncomfortable, ambiguous, disturbing saint, confronted with the earthly Magdalene, who was not a virgin, nor a mother, nor a wife, but attends the Crucifixion as the first witness of the Resurrection. The work looks at the woman who is most often named in the canonical Gospels and has generated so many artistic-literary reinterpretations in the History of Art. The work focuses on the turning point between the woman of antiquity and the one who shapes Christianity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17th<\/sup> MAY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday 17th<\/sup>  May sees a gathering of three writers at a literary event, when LOLA SU\u00c1REZ, MACARENA NIEVES C\u00c1CERES Y DANIELA MART\u00cdN HIDALGO appear together at  CIC El Almac\u00e9n in Arrecife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event takes place in the context of the exhibition “Eight writers and eight creators” that is exhibited in El Almac\u00e9n is part of this literary meeting in which the Lanzarote writers Lola Su\u00e1rez, Macarena Nieves C\u00e1ceres and Daniela Mart\u00edn Hidalgo will talk to us, in a pleasant and relaxed way, about their trajectories, their books, the processes of literary creation,  of reference readings, future projects and of how or to what extent the island of Lanzarote is directly or indirectly related in the territories of the literary geography of their  poetic discourses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24TH<\/sup> MAY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a similarly styled event scheduled forTuesday 24th<\/sup> Maywhen the presentation of the catalogue\u201cIDENTIDAD Y VIAJERAS\u201d, DE GUACIMARA HERN\u00c1NDEZtakes place at the busy and always rewarding centre at CIC El Almac\u00e9n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the context of the exhibition “identity and travelers” by Guacimara Hern\u00e1ndez is framed the presentation of this catalog that collects, in the form of an exercise of anthropological and artistic reflection, an interpretive reading on the foreign look of the texts of the British traveler Olivia Stone who visited the Canary Islands in 1884, making her dialogue with concepts such as the territory,  travel, otherness, identity or tourism. The design, layout and editing has been carried out by Natalia Camacho and Claudia Fern\u00e1ndez of Estudio Geiser, together with the photographic work of Mois\u00e9s Fleitas and the texts of Guacimara Hern\u00e1ndez and Pepe Betancort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FROM MAY 26TH<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As some art exhibitions close down towards the end of the month so another one opens. From Monday 26th May, until 13th August<\/strong> you will be able to view \u201cPrimun non nocere\u201d <\/strong>a collection created by Romina Rivero and commissioned by Nerea Ubieto. This will be housed in Sala El Aljibe at CIC El Almac\u00e9n in Arrecife<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the maxim of classical medicine of “the first thing is to do no harm” Romina Rivero proposes an installation artistic project in which she invites us to reflect on the complementarity between the care of the body and the violence exerted on it. It testifies not only to that empty and forgotten space of mourning and suffering, but also to the pain resulting from the violence of the biopolitical powers professed on the human being. To do this, we must heal the wounds, heal taking care of ourselves individually and collectively as a society, from the intimate, the subtle and the delicate, to reconcile the damage and overcome the painful, beautifying the pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday 27th<\/sup> May brings us the first musical event of the month with CANTADOR SINF\u00d3NICO, Acto Institucional del D\u00eda de Canarias in that incredible audit\u00f3rium created by Cesar Manrique created in the caves and lava fields of Jameos del Agua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an Institutional Event organized by the Cabildo de Lanzarote in the Auditorium of the Jameos del Agua, on the occasion of the celebration of the Day of the Canary Islands. The President of the Cabildo, Do\u00f1a Mar\u00eda Dolores Corujo Berriel, will speak.   The event will feature the staging of the show “Cantador Sinf\u00f3nico”, by the artists Ciro Corujo, Manuel Estupi\u00f1\u00e1n and Pedro Manuel Afonso, a project composed of more than twenty musicians that aims to be a recognition of the figure of the singer in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will take place inCentro C\u00edvico de Arrecife but if you also wish to hear the concert in the caves on the same night there will also be opportunities to see this touring production on<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3rd<\/sup> JUNE & 10TH<\/sup> JUNE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 3rd<\/sup> June<\/strong> in the Pabell\u00f3n deportes de San Bartolom\u00e9 or even on 10th June<\/strong> in  Centro Sociocultural de M\u00e1cher (T\u00edas) you can see theatre production of Blindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blindness is a stage piece inspired by the novel “Essay on Blindness” by Nobel Prize winner Jos\u00e9 Saramago. The staging is the result of the theatrical laboratory developed between March and May of this year, in which about twenty people have investigated through the body and voice to travel through the different scenarios of the novel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blind bodies inhabiting the immensity of an empty white, minds deafened by the instinct to survive, fear and uncertainty breathe. In a society infected by sudden white blindness, the hope of subsisting in the abyss is blurred by savage animal selfishness. It is the darkest side of humanity illuminated by a white, harmful, dense, constant and offensive blindness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

28th<\/sup> MAY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday 28th<\/sup> May delivers another musical event when DULCE PONTES (left)<\/em><\/strong> is at Teatro V\u00edctor Fern\u00e1ndez Gopar \u201cEl Salinero\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more than 30 years of experience, Dulce Pontes is, without a doubt, an essential voice for lovers of fado and music in general. Singer, pianist, composer and performer, her successful “Can\u00e7\u00e3o do Mar” \u2013 released worldwide in 1993 and one of the favorite songs of the public \u2013 consecrated Dulce Pontes as the renovator of fado, thus taking the witness of the great Amalia Rodrigues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her incredible artistic conditions, her classical training and her cultural concerns, have led Dulce Pontes to travel the world collaborating with the greatest artists from different latitudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special mention should be made of his meeting with the great Ennio Morricone, the result of which an intense friendship and professional relationship was forged from which emerged in 2003 the great album “Focus”, of which more than 300,000 copies were sold, in addition to the world tours they made together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As if all this incredible arts tapas isn\u00b4t enough to keep us going through May, Miguel Ferrer\u00b4s press release from the department of culture at the Cabildo also gives us early news of another art event that comes nearly at the end the following month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the exhibition of the exhibition “Murmura todo el teatro” by Daniel Jord\u00e1n in the summer of 2019 at the CIC El Almac\u00e9n, it was agreed to postpone the publication associated with said project to 2020, a circumstance that could not materialize due to various setbacks and circumstances associated with the pandemic.   Despite this adversity, in all this time Daniel Jord\u00e1n and the well-known philosopher, art critic and professor of the UAM, Fernando Castro Fl\u00f3rez have not ceased in their efforts and kept alive an interesting discursive thread in the form of questions and answers in which they have addressed different issues of current cultural, thought and contemporary art and that has given body to this extraordinary,  dystopian and crazy chatter entitled “Carnaza y morralla”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So May is definitely a busy month for the arts not only in the UK, but also here on Lanzarote where residents and tourists can find booking arrangements and more precise details of all these events at<\/p>\n\n\n\n
