This Thursday once again went to the restaurant on the beach for watching flamenco. Eti Guri was sinning, Eitan Bartal was the guitar player this time and sang at some of the songs too, Moy Natenzon was the cajon player, Adva Yermiyahu was dancing as usual. This time they invited Yael Tuchfeld to dance with Adva. Yael got back from Spain after almost a year with brakes. She made it there to perform too recently. I'm still not sure if it's another brake or for more than that. I decided that I must come this time to the show because of Yael although it wasn't the only flamenco event for this evening.
When I came I made to say hello and hug both dancers. I gave Adva a CD with some videos I took last time I've been there. I made it talk a bit with Shiran too who came again, but this time she didn't really took any photo. She was sitting with a friend of hers who looked familiar but I don't remember from where. After that the sift manager asked me if I accept that this time he will give me a table with another person. I said that I do as long as I will sit next to the stage. He gave me a table with a stranger. The table was close to stage, but because of the way the restaurant is built - it wasn't a very good place to see the show. It was seeing the dancers too much from the side or behind after some effort. The stranger took the better side of table before I made it to say anything. I ordered some food, he took his time. The waitress thought we're together and needed that I will tell her that we're not. The stranger seemed like he doesn't mind. When I received my order he remind to invite as well, but I needed to ask for a fork.... The napkin came with it when I finally get my fork. I noticed that Andreu came, but before I made to take his attention he's gone. After that he came back to talk with Shiran. I came to say hello to him and talk with them both. When I got back to my place the stranger didn't think to ask for my name, but he asked me who are the people I was talking with. He said that he's looking for connections at the flamenco and this is the reason for him to come. Well, I'm dancing but I'm not a pro. He doesn't think I'm interesting enough. I told him that I came to see flamenco and I'm writing about it. I guess that he didn't notice that part of "writing about it". Better this way....
The show itself didn't start on time (as usual) and made it few more minutes because was a little mistake which was ruin the sound. It needed to be fixed. After that - Only a song as usual to those shows. If I remember well - this time it was a rumba for a start. After a little while of music a solea por buleria has started. Adva and Yael came up to stage with white shirts and skirts which look the same, but Adva was wearing a red one and Yael wearing a blue one. It made with a lot of they were dancing together, and there was a little part for each one made a solo. Because of my place I couldn't see all the solo of Yael.
After that Adva joined the palamas and Yael went to change. A lot of good music till Yael got back for dancing an alegria. I can say only one thing about it: she was great before her time in Spain, she got back truly amazing! I have no other words to tell how much pleasure I had to see her dancing. Some more music. Adva was dancing her own solo after that. Sorry, I don\t remember well now which palo this time, but it seemed like I fell for her style a long time ago. I always love seeing her dancing.
A bit more music and a brake. I was still at my place. I noticed that Andreu came back to talk with Shiran but from time to time look at me and smile. After a while I could't help it any longer. I came to talk with them again. I told all the truth: in case they asked who's the guy who sitting with me - I have no idea. First time that I see him but I've been asked to sit with him. Still he asked me who are they without asking my name. Andrue said that they thought he's my boyfriend and I came with him, Shiran started to make a joke of it. Do me a favour! Well, like it wasn't enough - even without being a professional dancer I start to have some securities of a flamenco dancer. I noticed it this moment. Without trying I was standing with elbows far from my body. It didn't take too long till I felt someone comes behind me and combines hands with me, right between my left elbow and my body. It was the stranger. He asked me "So, do we go now?". I was too shocked for giving any answer. After a moment Andreu asked him "Who are you?". This weirdo didn't have any shame to make an insulting face and say "What do you mean? I'm her boyfriend!". He got stuck on Andreu. I moved to talk with Idit who came too. She said about Yael "She's amazing!". I said "I noticed!". And I told her what happened. She was shocked as well. Shiran came and Idit asked her if she heard what happened to me. I told her that Shiran saw it.
The show was about to move on. The musicians took their places, Yael took the place of the palmera. A girl came and asked if the place of the weirdo is taken. Eti and Yael felt like they need to help her asking that. I said that I don't know if the guy who was sitting there is still there or went away. She sat down next to me. No problem, she's probably better than the weirdo. A moment after that he got back and claimed his place back. Music has started. Shiran and her friend signed me to join them. No problem! I took my chair, I got some help from Yael's father to take the chair between the tables. After some music and after I started to relax a bit, after Shiran's friend took care if I see the musicians or not - Eti invited another guitar player. Dan... I don't remember his full name. Very bad! Eitan gave his guitar for Dan will play instead. A solea. My still was on the cajon. After a long playing Eti joined sinning. It sounds so well that the audience as yelling and clapped hands more than once like crazy. I can't blame any of the audience who did it. Once Eti wanted to go on sinning but the audience didn't let her because of the beauty which came out from the guitar. Dan went on and Eti joined later on. after that Eitan took his guitar back.
One more dance of Adva, more music. Yael danced too again.
Fin la fiesta. Adi Akiva who stay few more days here joined and made a wonderful solo near the end. Few more made it before her, but no one of the girls before her made it so beautiful. I came up too, I was standing next to Andreu. Still needed to move from time to time cause people wanted to go through, once someone couldn't see well. The weirdo came to stand next to me. He took almost all place in the front of stage. He's been asked few times from other people from the audience to move over cause they can't see this way. He didn't accept. Shiran made a dance and looked shocked to see him in the front of her so close. For the finale - Adva didn't dance alone, but Yael did and invited Adva to dance with her and leave stage.
Well, about the shock of Shiran - I was right. A moment after the show was over she told me she was shocked from it. I was talking a bi more, I told Shiran that I wanna talk with Adva and Yael but I guess that I won't wait this time. I wanna run away from this place. She understood me. Adva came out after all, one more hug. I want to pay my bill. By the way the shift manager made a try to talk with me. I said that this time I was nice but next time I won't accept to sit next to a stranger. He said "Orna, I can't close a table for one person, not in a show!". Son of a bitch! I made it there more than once and never been told there was a problem with it! And not in a show? I wouldn't dare to go back this place without the flamenco shows! And even if I will be back again it will be only if someone will promise to guard me.
I said goodbye to some fellows. The shift manager saw that I was talking with Adi. This time he looked shocked. I was running back home to my dog and needed some time to relax. I still not sure what needed more to relax from - the amazing flamenco I saw and heard there or the experience with one more weirdo in a terrible restaurant
