Deep Song Rehearshal
Last March 2022, Lola Lasurt (Barcelona, 1983) presented Ensayo para Deep Song (Centro Federico García Lorca, Granada), an exhibition project in which the Catalan artist is based on the choreography Deep Song (1937) by the dancer Martha Graham , created in response to the still and moving images reaching North American audiences about the Spanish Civil War. Lasurt translates Graham's performative gesture into a pictorial act, without forgetting the relationship with the work of Federico García Lorca that inspired her title: Poema del cante jondo (1931). This bilingual publication (Spanish and English) reinforces Lasurt's investigative work in the contemporaneity of a historical event and its memory.
