The term, of uncertain origin, appears to derive from a Quechua word that in Peru retains the meaning of joy, mirth, or delight.<\/p>\n

Dancer Jep Mel\u00e9ndez and musicians Benito Cabrera and Tom\u00e1s Fari\u00f1a revisit the stage concept of their show A pies y manos to present a new work inspired by Canarian festivities.<\/p>\n

This creation delves into the ritual essence of celebration and the intercultural connections that such expressions contain. The performance is not a recreation of the island\u2019s festive calendar but a journey through the emotions that celebrations evoke: the chase after devils, the pleasure of dancing, the colorful flags adorning village squares, and even the melancholy of remembering those who are no longer with us.<\/p>\n

From pre-Hispanic references evoking aboriginal rites like the Be\u00f1esmen to cultural ties with Galicia, the Philippines, or Peru, De jarana is a show of body percussion, tap, and music.<\/p>\n

Its proposal transports the audience on an emotional journey rooted in Canarian tradition yet open to contemporary and universal artistic languages.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1767948691569{border-right-width: 1px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-color: #101820 !important;}”]<\/p>\n
