Flamenco se escribe con jota
“Flamenco se escribe con jota” celebrates the natural dialogue between flamenco and the Aragonese jota. The two forms have a strong historical link going back two hundred years ago to when Cadiz and Zaragoza were both Andalusian territory. They are also both deeply rooted in popular culture. This strong identity manifests itself in the song lyrics (letras): cantes for flamenco, cantas for jota. A deep and mysterious link which this show reveals, led by the brilliant virtuoso jota dancer (bailador) Miguel Ángel Berna, who transcends the jota of folklore and makes it totally contemporary, futuristic even. He weaves together a moving encounter between the more earth-bound flamenco of dancer (bailaora) Úrsula López and bailaor Rafael Campallo, whose talent, youth and beauty explode over the combined sounds of the three singers and five musicians from Andalusia and Aragon.

Riolon, Luc
After studies of mathematics preparatory class and medecine studies, Luc Riolon begins to make films within the framework of his Faculty of Medicine, then met the famous choreographers of the 80s (Maguy Marin, Mark Tompkins, Josef Nadj, Daniel Larrieu Daniel, Odile Duboc, Josette Baiz, Angelin Prljocaj, etc.) with whom he shoots numerous films (re-creation for the camera, the illegal securements). In the 80s with the American choreographer Mark Tompkins he introduces the video on the stage, broadcasting live on big screens the images which he shoots with his camera by being on the stage with the dancers, mixing live images and pre-recorded images. With Daniel Larrieu he participates in the creation of the famous show WATERPROOF, the contemporary choreography which takes place in a swimming pool, by filming live) the dancers dancing in the water and mixing the live images with pre-recorded underwater images.

He shoots with her of numerous documentaries about classical music, opera singers and dance. From 1999 he directs documentaries of scientific popularization, by following researchers attached to the resolution of a particular ecologic enigma.

Among his recent scientific documentaries, we can quote for example " The Enigma of the Black Caiman ", Living and dying in the swamp " or " The Nile delta: The end of the miracle ". “Chernobyl, a natural history ? “ These documentaries of scientific popularization recently have been awarded in international festivals.
