Quince - 3rd July at Suzanne Dellal, Tel Aviv

Quince with Miguel Angel

One more thing which I come without enough sleeping (my family, my neighbors, life...). This time I knew that Shiran will be there. I had two tickets, she was looking for one. We agreed to see it together. I came a lot before time for that. Ilan who said he isn't sure and ignore my questions at last two days includes if he's coming or not was there outside. He was sitting with few who I didn't recognize. After a while of talking with him, running in and out for tickets and talking with all I know - I noticed that one of them I do know and she suppose to know me as well. At part of "inside" - next to the entrance to the main hall and to the their tickets office Shiran was waiting for me. She was with Idit who also told me that she isn't sure. She got two tickets at the last moment for herself and her mother. After taking the tickets - running between two of them and Ilan. After showing them new photos of mine with my "famous" niece - Shiran and Idit started showing photos of their nieces. By the way I met there old friends of my parents who are crazy for flamenco almost as I am (they go to see any time they can. but they never learned it).Yael Tuchfeld also came. She stopped to sit and talk with Ilan and the fellows was with. He's been asked if he saw her dancing before. He said yes and started to give a list. By the way - he saw Quince. I told him that Yael was at Spain when they started to show this production. We had an argue untill Yael said that she didn't even come to the rehearsals and it will be her first time to see it. My memory is still well and he should learn stop to argue with me. 

Getting into the hall. I started to wonder.. I know it always was with Kirill Sivolapov, I didn't know if Miguel came instead or accept this time. As I wondered - few more started to get in. Checking out who's coming. My parents' friends made a try to talk, but accept sending "hello" - it was pretty impossible. Not their fault, I was busy talking with Shiran and we both were waiting to see Miguel (although that in my case I saw it once without him and loved it anyway). 

The girls of Compas got into the stage and danced a lot with their castanets. After a while Shiran asked me if the music is recorded. Yes. All the show? Yes. Oh no... Yeah, for my opinion it's the only thing which makes this show less than perfect. We were close. I was always looking for Miguel. After a while I noticed him waiting for his entrance. I got my elbow in Shiran for she will see. She noticed too. He got in. He made a long solo. It started with recorded classic music, turned on to just dancing with no music at all, finished with music. I thin I saw parts of this in videos, but only parts and my first time of seeing it live. I couldn't stop smiling. He's amazing! It looked like he's holding the audience without a try. The audience responded to him few times in his dance and when he finished with warm hands claps. Few of the flamenco fellows at the audience were yelling his name and made him jaleo. From time to time he was smiling because of it, but it didn't confuse him for a moment. All under control. Oh my GOD! I couldn't stop smiling! The lights closed cruelty when he finished. 

Go on. The girls. And Mijal Natan made her first solo for the evening. She also received warm hands claps form some of the audience when she got into stage for the first time. And so,  Migeul didn't come instead of Kirill Sivolapov. He made what he did ordinary at this show. This is cool because he's also talented and it gave me few more moments of flamenco. 

Later on there was a dance of Miguel with Mijal, something which I never saw before. I couldn't recognize what it is, but I was too busy in trying to figure out when did they have time to make it ready that great for the show. I thought maybe in Japan or something like that. It's impossible to make something in this level at few days... It was beautiful. I hope Mijal would forgive me. Never mind how much I made a try to look at her - my eyes sat down on Miguel all the time. OK, maybe accept few little moments I made a try to look at her too. I really noticed her when only when they were close to each other and they finished. 

The show went on some more as usual. A dance of the girls with Mijal went almost as usual. When it meant to finish and lights go down - Miguel came in. At start he was dancing a bit with them, a thing which has been taken from Pavo Real (a preview production of Miguel with Compas Company). They lest him alone on stage after a short moment. Another long solo of him. The audience loves him and he couldn't hide his happiness from it. He shouldn't hide, it made him look more free. 

One more buleria. I told Shiran that as I remember - this part ends the show. She said it's logical. I told her who's Mijal's daughter (now she's officially a part of the company). Well, fin la fiesta moment after. I was surprised that Miguel didn't have a solo. Kirill made a part of his funny thing. Mijal and Miguel got some flowers. All of them got many hands claps from the audience. 

After show I made a try to convince Shiran to snick with me to the backstage. She was too shy cause from all people on stage she knew personally only Miguel. I had few problems to get in, but I made it to come in. Shiran said fine, she will come. When I came almost to the inside door - it closed and I couldn't open it at the moment. Shiran gave up. I found a way to get in. Kirill start to remember my face. He opened the door for me (shirt off), asked me how am I doing, I noticed to which room he gets in, and... Miguel! Took on a new shirt. I couldn't ask for more. Almost. Hugs and kisses. I told him that Shiran is waiting outside. It took some time. I was talking with him a bit, I was talking with Mijal and the girls, he was talking with others and had some photos with them. We got out together while talking about meeting without the a connection to studio/shows. Some conversations. Accept me - he knows well Shiran and Idit. Ilan was around talking with people I don't know. I made a try to take him to us. He didn't want to. I asked for a photo with Miguel. Shiran accepted to take, but she isn't used any longer to cameras like mine. I asked Ilan to join the photo. He thought I'm doing it for him. For him? Is he joking again? After a little more time I asked Miguel again for a photo. he said that not with me. I made him an angry face and pointed a finger to him. OK, he will for not getting into troubles. The girls started to laugh. Fine, that's an old joke, they just don't know how long. IT didn't turn out well, so we made it different. I took two photos of Shiran with Miguel at her phone, she took two more of mine with Miguel and her phone. The photos at her phone went out well. I said "Facebook!" Idit was amused from that as well. A moment after she asked from Shiran to take two photos of her with her mother and Miguel at her own phone.  

All tired and Miguel was hurry to get back into the dressing rooms. I warned Ilan for his ignorance. He said it wasn't ignorance, he's just very tired.  By the way - I have a "date" tomorrow! With who? Miguel... Shiran gave me a ride very close to my house. I'm so used to go back walking till at the start I made a little mess. I didn't want to make it worse for her, so close to house till 2 minutes of walking was good enough for me. Anyway to made it much shorter for me

Quince (after watching)

OK, I needed a bit time to relax. I hope that I won't forget a thing. The program is a bit unusual and without the list of palos and dances (but includes which musicians it's possible to hear at the show). I hoped to have some time to eat there my dinner before the show, but I came too late for it. At least from one of the windows there up it was possible to see one of the dancers prepare her hair. I'm not sure that I saw well who was it. By the time someone told me "hello". It took me some time to figure out it's one of the girls who learn at the studio of Mijal, I'm not used to see her this way with the hair and what a shame - I still don't really remember her name. The man who I know through Neta's studio came as well and he's lucky for NOT trying to talk with me. And I was talking with someone who I did get to know through Neta's studio till my third year. I haven't seen her for years. At the hall, after me got in a red head I learned with her few months to dance with batas at the studio. She sat at the row before me with another red head girl. She was saying "hello" and I wondered if her husband knows (he was holding her very short).  

The show itself - all recorded music, not all flamenco. There was a part of classic music pretty at the start. Most of the dances had some influence from modern style. 

It started with the girls of the Compas Company while Ayelet Shachar stood a bit aside. She made a short solo and joined the others and all danced. This dance was with castanets. They made another dance with the castanets with classic music. They went out and got back fast for one more short dance with the castanets. At the way out they made it each alone or couples. Hadas Nestel was at the end with Adi Grupper. It was funny cause while all were playing "regular" with their castanets - Hadas took one of her castanets and held it from the string. She shook it and smiled. 

Kirill Sivolapov had a short entrance and walking out dancing. So did Mijal. The girls got back. Hadas had a manton this time. She danced with it a bit and left it on the stage and went on dancing without it but with the others. After this dance - the manton was still there. Kirill got back, took the manton and he was the next to dance with it, a bit like a torrero, a bit how does it's possible. Mijal replaced him on stage after dancing with him for a moment. This part - just her and without any "tricks". 

One more part. Hadas Nestel and Lia Sheinfeld, both wearing pink cloths. They made a short and funny part. When I mean funny - I mean at the good side.

After -  Kirill Sivolapov got back with a chair. At the start he was dancing alone. Vlada Vest joined him for a dance. After a while - so did Mijal Natan. Mijal was wearing a bata da cola. A part of dancing with it was for the use of Kirill. Three of them made an amazing trio. So much of it needed the trust of them at each other - some falling one to the hands the other, one lean at the hands of the others... So on. 

I don't remember well what came next, but after - Kirill got back holding Moran Ron and Ayelet Shachar whike they were wearing batas. Mijal joined wearing a bata and holding Adi Grupper and Vlada Vest who were with "regular" dresses. Hadas and Lia joined later on. Few mantons which through hands and dancers, batas, some were with castanets. It was a festival to the eyes. After a while Kirill went away. Mijal and the girls with batas stayed to dance with their batas and mantons, 

For the end - a buleria. One by one the girls got back to stage. The first ones were Vlada Vest and Adi Grupper who didn't dance with batas at the dance before. None of the girls was wearing any flamenco dress or skirt at this part, Hadas even was wearing pants at this part. Each one who joined came from another part and each received jaleo. Mijal was near the end, Ayealet was the very last one. It was happy and ... I know it's weird to say it on flamenco but it was cute. 

Bow down. Fin la fiesta with palmas and dancing only. Moran Ron was the first to dance. Hadas Nestel has been called to dance after her. Both made stuff which looks easy but needed a lot of control. Mijal called Kirill to dance. He made some faces and movements of "are you sure you want me to dance now in the middle?". Yeah, Mijal was sure. He came to the middle, took him two compases to think, after that he made a crazy dance. It started at just sending one leg and move around himself, after that a real dance - a lot of flamenco but it was possible to see that he usually dance other styles. Then he made something to the girls like a maetro. For a moment all stopped at once to do the palmas and just looked at him. All got cak for palmas at the same time. Mijal made something and finished in a way of "calling" the others to join her. They all danced together. Ayelet made her solo as well and finished like Mijal. Once again - Mijal made few steps and called the others to join her. They got down from stage, the curtain closed and the lights opened. 

For me - all the show I was smiling. It was too much fun to see it for staying sad. I couldn't wait. Although my joy I pretty ran out from the hall. I was waiting for a short while next to the entrance of the artist. I snick in with the entrance of others. I was talking with Mijal a bit for telling her how much I enjoyed it. I said it couldn't wait to Monday. She asked me if isn't it the second time that I saw it. No, only the first. I said "not yet". I know where it came from. I can go twice to the same show and made it this company twice before. She sent me to the girls to tell them too that I loved it. I went to one of the dressing rooms. Ayelet was next to the door from out. I told her it was fun to see it. She said she it's nice to hear it, but now she needs to breath and go to say hello to her parents. At the dressing room were 3 more. Moran wasn't surprised to see me and before I said anything she said "Hi Orna, how are you?" I'm great, I just saw this show! I told them it was fun to see them and they looked like enjoy. They thanked me. Vlada and Adi said that did enjoy. On my way out Lia was talking with me shortly as well. Next to the door out - one more dressing room. Kirill was there said "hello". I couldn't help it. Without to explain a thing I told him it was fun to see the show and I liked what he did at the fin la fiesta. He apologized that he still not enough a flamenco dancer. I said it still possible to see that he is a dancer. He thanked me too and I went. I think I should thank them all for making this show. 

On the way back home I bought something to eat
