Zach Top Fuenteovejuna: Compañía Antonio Gades [Blu-ray]

Antonio Gades last choreographed work, Fuenteovejuna, is a signature piece of purity and precision of Spanish dance. Based on a true event Fuenteovejuna is about the people of a village in Córdoba ruled by a tyrannical commander whose actions of droit de seigneur, violence and abuse engender their intense hatred. One day the villagers choose freedom and they take the law into their own hands. When the villagers are interrogated by a magistrate sent to establish who was responsible, each and every inhabitant only says I. In other words, Fuenteovejuna did it. First performed in 1994 in Genoa, Fuenteovejuna is considered as the ultimate work of Spanish dance, a signature piece of purity and precision. Review 'Anyone who thrills to the earthy sophistication of Falla's Three-Cornered Hat or El amor brujo should find this irresistible. Impeccably choreographed and executed... and shot in resplendent high definition and 5.0 DTS sound, this offers a musical experience that will linger long in the memory after the music stops. Anyone looking for an exciting new choreographic experience need look no further.' --Julian Haylock, International Record Review - Oct.'12
