Anima Amante

Spanish medieval specialists ArteSonado are welcomed to the NCEM stage in a show inspired by the 13th-century court of Alfonso X the Wise, bringing together the rich cultural exchanges of Christian, Jewish and Muslim traditions.

Melding the Cantigas de Santa María, Llibre Vermell, songs by Theobald I of Navarre, the Codex Rossi and Sephardic traditions through music, poetry and dance, the performance follows the symbolic journey of a female figure who moves through the elements of nature as a path of transformation and union between cultures.

ArteSonado:
Berta Benedicto voice
Elisabet Segura flutes
Sarabel Delgado fiddle, voice
Emiliano Evrard gittern, citole
Miguel Ángel Royo percussion
Sonia Rillo dance

Promoted in association with the Instituto Cervantes Manchester.
