El dedo índice de Vicente Escudero (Vicente Escudero’s Index Finger)

Barribrossa celebrates its tenth edition this year by paying special attention to one of the most artistic manifestations of popular culture, flamenco. Sebastià Gasch, Joan Miró and Joan Brossa felt great attraction for the undisputable figure of Vicente Escudero, an internationally renowned Spanish dancer who had adopted Barcelona as his home, and who strongly influenced the development of this artistic form. Half way between modernity and tradition, Escudero’s poetics reveal a series of paradoxes on identity. In fact, his identification of flamenco with the Spanish or Andalusian essence became something of a hurdle when Joan Miró and Joan Brossa became interested in the aesthetics of the dance.

Lecture organised by MACBA in the context of Barribrossa 2013.
