Taranto Aleatorio is an outdoor flamenco performance. María del Mar Suárez La Chachi and singer Lola Dolores demonstrate that flamenco is a living, boundless art form that can be performed with lightness and a sense of humor.
The two artists sit on chairs facing the audience, dressed in tracksuits; they roll cigarettes, eat sunflower seeds, and look around at the crowd. Suddenly, they begin a taranto—one of the most raw and rhythmic styles of flamenco, originating in the mines of Almería.
In “Taranto Aleatorio,” tradition becomes something entirely new. La Chachi and Dolores respect the classical structure of the taranto but use it as a starting point for improvisation. Without props, set design, or a traditional narrative. All that matters are their voices, bodies, and interaction. Dolores sings with moving power, while La Chachi communicates through a precise, physical language—hand gestures, rhythmic foot stomps, and subtle shifts in position.
The performance blurs the boundary between the stage and the audience. Subtle gestures, spontaneous reactions, and humorous glances create a dance that is both irregular and deeply structured.
“Taranto Aleatorio” is an outdoor performance offering a raw, intense, humorous, and unpredictable experience. You don’t have to love flamenco to be moved—it’s a celebration of the performing arts based on intuition, presence, and connection with the audience.
