Canvis a "Dansa i diversió"

🎙️ Collective documentation

When analyzing the photo of the group of women dancing at "la Caixa" Foundation Space of the Congrés neighborhood, one of the participants comments on how special sevillanas are to her and how she used to leave the neighborhood to go to the Juanele hall, which was located on Paral·lel street at the time, to dance and enjoy. Slowly, as she shares memories, dance steps and snippets of songs emerge from her body. Addittionaally, she remembers her grandfather singing Cante Jondo at home, following a more tragic style.

The women in charge of narrating the image also highlight the joy exuded by the women featured in it, as well as their looks of complicity and the beauty of their costumes. All under lighting that makes them shine even more.

During the creation of the story behind the photograph, leisure and fun are emphasized as part of the historical memory of the neighborhood. In El Congrés, there were many discos and bars that people frequented after work.
