SYNOPSIS

All transcendent moments are followed by a dark night of the soul. Beneath the slow passing of clouds, the dark, tumultuous sea rises to engulf everything. Atop it, Rocío Molina dances Al Fondo Riela, the antithesis of Inicio (Uno), the meeting with Lo otro de Uno (The Other). “On stage, I am accompanied by my own ego and two completely different guitarists. Eduardo Trassierra is harmony and technical complexity. Yerai Cortés is natural intuition. Al Fondo Riela is a piece about reflection and the loss of reality, a work where all the ghosts of my past emerge. You have to suffer through it to reach the third part, which will be a liberation.”

Dressed in spartan black, Molina spars with two guitarists. She dances farrucas, seguiriyas, bulerías, soleás, in a constant struggle with her own image, with Lo Otro de Uno (The Other), who forces her down into the depths of all her own fears. Vanity, ambition, pride, solitude… but Al fondo riela (it glimmers in the depths). A trembling light pulsates at the end of the never-ending soleá, colour seeps back into the darkness. The liberation, the Vuelta al Uno (Return to the Self), is near.
