Under the artistic direction of Tino Fernandez, nine dancers, including Alexis Calvo, a little person whose moves mesmerized, offered a metaphorical look at death in the form of a "human" bullfight. His style of mutomboko centered on the way he moved the weapons, first held low and shifting side to side, then raised, with elbows out and weapons pointed down, like a matador at a bullfight, as he swung his legs high to move first right then left. At a bullfight, he picks out a man in the crowd and goes through the motions of setting up the kill. |
