Costume Design for NO, La Venidera
NO is the image of a burning pyre.
A pyre where we burn everything that belongs to the establishment.
NO is an alternative that drives us toward the hidden.
This costume design is not only an accompaniment to a beautiful work that speaks of new perspectives, new beginnings, and questioning everything.
It has also been our opportunity to explore the traditional imagery of Spanish dance.
This costume design draws inspiration from workwear—the kind worn by dancers, tailors, and those who work with their hands and bodies.
In this piece, La Venidera speaks of a process of reconstruction, of saying NO to what is imposed and of building, with their own tools, a unique form of expression.
To create this new language, Irene and Albert use cotton undershirts, double-waisted suit pants, shirts, and shorts with pockets in which they keep their hammer and nails.
Wool, cotton, and silk are the materials featured in this piece.
On the other side, the hand-molded leather—in this case, reinterpreting the dancer’s sash—speaks of craftsmanship, of wear and tear, of the wrinkles that come with use, and of repetition until one finds one’s own gesture.
