Mara
Terzi
and her classical and flamenco company, 13 dancers and 7 musicians, have completed
a 2nd tour in TOKYO and other 13 Japanese cities
with the show “CARMEN”, with her
own choreography on the original music of Livio Gianola.
Mara Terzi danced the role of the title together with Gianni Ghisleni, classical
dancer at the Scala Theatre and Marcos David, Flamenco dancer.
The first tour was undertaken in October ’99 and was really successful;
in particular at the great Tokyo Bunka Kaikan,
that was full, an audience of 4.000.000 enthusiastically applauded the show
that originated remarkable comments in the Japanese press:
“The
enthusiasm and the feverish music made the audience lose their head so that
they couldn’t do but to crowd the theatre. Audience ravished by an intense
and high-quality Flamenco”
THE EVENING PAPER
“Mara succeeds in steering and guiding
the mood of her audience”
“Livio Gianola’s original music has certainly represented a source
of fascination”
“Mara is really beautiful”
“Marcos David is incomparable for his temper, preciseness, combativeness
and energy”
“As for feminine dance nothing has been written since it’s really
difficult to tell about all the charm and the magic of this Company”
SATOSHI TEAMURA
FOR THE KONZERTHAUS JAPAN
“All
is full of passion, sensuality, elegance”
“So breaks out in Japan the Flamenco boom and its artistic history fills
with excitement thanks to this “CARMEN” of Mara Terzi’s
dancing Company”
“A Carmen that is delicate and passionate”
THE DIVINE DOOR PAPER
“It
has been a show that has won a very favourable evaluation among the rows of
an audience that has caused a sold out in a theatre filled with endless rapture
before a dance burning with passion but at the same time delicate, refined
and elegant”
THE NORTHERN PAPER
From this outcome the Japanese demand for a second tour,
that took place last July with other 13 shows at the Tokyo
Bunka Kaikan and in other 12 cities of
the same country.
In September 2001 Mara Terzi was chosen by the
Russian director Andrej Konchalovskij to perform a flamenco
in his film.
Mara Terzi filmed the scene in Moscow next to the English singer and composer
Bryan Adams.
