La Tercera

The premiere of La Tercera represents the culmination of a project initiated by Teresa Garzón Barla from Granada. The project was made possible through a research residency at the Centro Coreográfico Canal de la Comunidad de Madrid. Following the presentation of the project in the Emerging section of the tenth edition of the Surge Madrid Festival, it was selected for screening at the Festival de Otoño. The work represents the performing and dancing side of Garzón Barla, a young woman from Granada in 1996, who received training in dance and performance.

In hardly five years, Teresa Garzón has established herself as a noteworthy figure in choreography in Spain. She was a performer and choreographer with the company Aves Migratorias in Madrid and a researcher involved in the creation of Doce (Mercat de les Flors, Barcelona). Her choreographies have been seen in Madrid (Fucksia, finalist of the solo contest Me, Myself & I de Pasoa2), Tenerife (El Cielo, at the Festival Santo Domingo a Dúo) Córdoba (Santas al Cielo, in the Teatro Isabel la Católica). In addition to launching La Tercera, he will oversee the production of a new staging of Don Giovanni in Lanzarote, featuring renowned artists such as Borja Quiza, Pancho Corujo and Sofía Esparza.

La Tercera has a technical origin. The Picardy third is a harmonic technique used since the Renaissance. It involves changing a theme from minor to major and back again using the obstinate, a repeated sequence.

Garzón Barla translates this idea to characters who create and reflect on dance while at the same time reflecting on love, desire and sexuality. They criticise the laws imposed on three main areas: dance, love, desire and sexuality.
