"If I die, leave the balcony open.
The boy is eating oranges.
(From my balcony I hear him.)
The reaper scythes the wheat.
(From my balcony I feel it.)
If I die, leave the balcony open!
"
A stalled horse, a woman with a dead child in her arms. Bull in the room. The blind are groping for the veil of time. Little by little, the details form a picture.
Living flamenco legend Carmen Linares, recent Premio Nacional de Danza winner Rafaela Carrasco, flamenco piano master Pablo Suárez, and Compañía Kaari & Roni Martin meet in the room of Spain's national poet Federico García Lorca, outside whose walls the world is going crazy. ¡LORCA! features Linares' interpretation and Roni Martin's new arrangements of Lorca's 1931 flamenco poems, which have deep roots in Andalusian Roma, Jewish, and Arab culture. It took only five years from the recording of these poems to Lorca's murder and the creation of Picasso's Guernica.
