El final de este estado de cosas, redux

When Eugenia de los Reyes, Israel Galván’s mother, gave its title to this performance, the dancer’s long work had come to an end. Where was its beginning: reading the biblical text, approaching it in such distinct ways (from Los zapatos rojos to Arena Israel Galván has always projected on his shows the shadow of these revelations), by studying the most extreme dances (from tarantella to butoh, and of course, flamenco). This is not to represent the complete book of Revelation, nor to show in extenso all the revelations therein. It’s about reading the text, reading it as only the body of a dancer can do, embodying the verses, sentences.
