The show ˋLost Lettersˊ, led by the National Dance Award winner, will be performed this Sunday at the Symphony Hall.

 

The Auditorio de Tenerife offers this Sunday (19 January), at 7:30 p.m., at the Symphony Hall the show Lost Letters by Lucía Lacarra Ballet. The newly formed dance group is set to premiere a captivating piece featuring eight dancers, along with Matthew Golding, who serves as both a dancer and choreographer and Lucía Lacarra herself. Lacarra is a winner of the National Dance Prize and has recently been awarded the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts. Notably, tickets for the performance have been sold out for three weeks.

Lost Letters marks the first production by the Lucía Lacarra Ballet. The piece tells a poignant story that explores lost connections and encourages reflection on the power of communication. Through the dancers' technical skill and artistic expressiveness, "Lost Letters" takes the audience on a visually stunning emotional journey. The innovative choreography, coupled with a captivating selection of music from composers such as Rachmaninoff and Max Richter, creates an atmosphere that transports the audience into a realm of deep emotions.

Throughout history, handwritten letters from the front lines during wartime were a vital link between soldiers and their families. However, what happens if one of those letters gets lost? Based on a real letter written by First World War gunner Frank Bracey to his wife, Win, "Lost Letters" imagines how her fate might have changed had she never received the correspondence from her beloved husband.

Lost Letters transforms this true story into a unique narrative for a ballet production. The dancers Francesco Forcina, Gabriel Martínez, Joseph Peñaloza, Meireles Díaz, Manuela Medeiros, Lucía Castellano, Eva Nazareth Suárez, and Itziar Ducajú will join Lacarra and Golding on stage.

The Lucía Lacarra Ballet is an exciting new initiative that blends Lacarra's artistic skill and creative vision with the beauty and power of classical ballet. The company, consisting of ten dancers, aims to uphold the highest artistic excellence and professionalism standards. Its primary goal is to stir emotion, inspire, and connect with new generations of dance enthusiasts.
