Málaga el Flamenco 2007. Fuensanta la Moneta, ‘De entre la luna y los hombres’. The Teatro de Las Lagunas in Mijas was the stage chosen for the world premiere of Entre la luna y los hombres, the first show by one of the most international bailaoras on today’s flamenco scene: Fuensanta la Moneta. The Granada-born artist tackled a show based on poems by two women from her same region: poetesses Ángeles Mora and Teresa Gómez. A women’s show, performed by women and with a pronounced social storyline. Between malagueñas, cantes abandolaos, transitions with guajiras and farrucas and an ending with soleares and seguiriyas, La Moneta staged the diverse roles women play in society: the happiness of the successful, independent woman and the uneasiness of those who watch their dreams wither away without being able to make them come true. Accompanying La Moneta in her most experimental choreography to date (staged even in the costumes created and shown off for the occasion by Quetezurzan Workshop), the cante by Málaga-born Eva Durán hatched as the voice of feminine conscience. A genuine fortune of feminine feelings experienced first-hand and arising from her own conscience. Together with them, there were several men up on stage: Miguel and Paco Iglesias on guitar, Javier Carrasco on percussion and El Eléctrico, together with Torombo, on compás.
