Best Of: El Lobo y La Paloma (The Wolf and The Dove)
El Lobo y La Paloma tells a story about the loss of a loved one and the rebuilding of a spiritual relationship with those we have lost through the journey of exploring our grief.
INTRODUCTION
El Lobo y La Paloma, The Film captures a live performance exploring the theme of loss, connection, and ancestry. Through fully original flamenco dance, Arabic music and song, poetry, and projected imagery, El Lobo y La Paloma tells a story about the loss of a loved one and the mystical connections between physical and spiritual worlds.
INTENTION
The live performance of El Lobo y La Paloma was conceptualized and choreographed by flamenco dancer Lindsey Bourassa. The work was inspired by the death of her father, David Bourassa, who died of pulmonary fibrosis in 2015. El Lobo y La Paloma strives to honor the universal experience of loss; that of losing a loved one, a homeland, a freedom, a right, an identity, an ability. It honors the reconstruction of our relationship with our lost being or object, grief as vital to the process of healing, and the eternal interconnectedness between this physical world and where spirits reside.
