Mario Verandi picks up flamenco figures and constructs electroacoustic foliage that hypertrophy and then retire into the flamenco form whence they came.
Reproduction and creation − the primordial dicothomy − are ruled over by the emphatic flamenco gestures that Mr. Verandi performs. Figuras Flamencas inflates and deflates.
In this respiration, music and drama meet, reproduction and creation blend, reality and vagary are stirred into one another.
