Taranto Aleatorio is an outdoor flamenco performance. María del Mar Suárez La Chiachi and singer Lola Dolores demonstrate that flamenco is a living, boundless art form that can be performed with ease and a sense of humor.
The two artists sit on chairs facing the audience, dressed in tracksuits, rolling cigarettes, eating sunflower seeds, and looking around at the crowd. Suddenly, they begin a taranto—one of the most raw and rhythmic styles of flamenco, originating from the mines of Almería.
In Taranto Aleatorio, tradition becomes something entirely new. La Chiachi and Dolores respect the classical structure of the taranto, but use it as a starting point for improvisation. Without props, set design, or a classical narrative. All that matters are their voices, bodies, and interaction. Dolores sings with moving power, while La Chiachi communicates through a precise, physical language—hand gestures, rhythmic stomps, and subtle shifts.
The performance blurs the boundary between the stage and the audience. Small gestures, spontaneous reactions, and humorous glances create an irregular yet deeply structured dance.
“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 is a celebration of the performing arts based on intuition, presence, and connection with the audience.
