The forgotten geometry of Buenos Aires – 28/04/2019

The National Opera of the Rhine (Strasbourg, France) has chosen Argentina as the center of the second edition of its Arsmondo festival, which takes place this month.

A sunset Maria of Buenos Aires (1968), the tango opera of Astor Piazzolla and Horacio Ferrer, with choreography and scenography by Matías Trípodi, and musical direction of Nicolás Agullo, constitutes the heart of this encounter.

In this version of the work, the scenic projection of geometric and abstract photos by Claudio Larrea stands out. Born in Argentina in 2001, he moved to Barcelona. In 2010, he returned to Buenos Aires and began a photographic reconstruction of the city, with a personal vision of its architecture.

"It is at this point of the planet, full of infinite mirrors that reflect their beautiful imperfections, where I started my first artistic stage, called The Lover of Buenos Aires," he explains. I retracted their palaces, their royal Art Deco buildings, and then I entered a new dark and dark city that I called the Republic of Waires. "

Larrea currently lives between Barcelona and Buenos Aires. "This coincidence made that my life was confused with that of Astor Piazzolla and I joined the department of his first stage in Buenos Aires, in the district of Balvanera, near the Congress, where he composed El tango, with Jorge Luis Borges and Milonga del Angel, "he says.

He adds: "Piazzolla has defined his house with an extraordinary view as" a castle in the air. "These views were essential for his creations – the same windows that gave me the opportunity to fly like a restless bird in the air. The skies of a metropolis of mixed race, half-breeds and queens, who knows Buenos Aires, understands Piazzolla with its soft melodies and raw rhythms. "
