Speaking to Prensa Latina, the director of the Nuremberg Ballet also stated that the piece was conceived from themes of Cuban troubadour Silvio Rodriguez and is intended for four women and five men. It is a tailor-made work for the company's dancers and takes into account their diversity, as some come from the classical technique and others from contemporary dance. We chose that title because we wanted to talk about something that can not be measured, nor regret, that is not of this world, he said.
Carlos (Acosta) asked me for a work that had some connection with his country, with the Cuban soul, and I proposed to create it from songs by Silvio and adaptations by the German composer Owen Belton. He wanted to maintain the essence of this nation, but at the same time give it a universal meaning, he explained.
Graduated from the National School of Ballet of Cuba, Montero has coincided with Acosta on several occasions and created the piece Around there is nothing, for the debut of the grouping in 2016.
The Cuban dancers are very versatile, have a great capacity to adapt to different styles, many desires to learn and a very strong inner rhythm. For a choreographer, they are a very interesting instrument when it comes to working, he said.
This company is unique in Cuba, because it unites tradition and new trends. Carlos wants a repertoire of his own and invites creators from other countries, which allows young artists to know a wide range of styles and people see what is happening in the world today in this matter, he added.
Montero indicated that it is a pleasure to return to the Caribbean nation and assured that the Cuban is one of the best public.
In this country dance is like football in Spain. Everyone knows the classic pieces and they have their favorite dancers. It is something unique, which does not happen in Europe or the United States, where art has an elitist sense, he said.
