I just find that when this art form (or any) becomes more about the artistic expression of the artist then they are lost! I'm not saying they aren't great technical artist or highly skilled etc (or they shouldnt be allowed to express themselves within the art) but cant we let the forms and the songs and the compas and the music do the talking? instead of trying to put a silly hat on it?
yes, well it is worse then that even. I mean it is this literal "Picasso" wannabe thing, where they do Guarnica dances and like Cigala titles his album as if he is doing the cubist art. Perhaps in the Baile of Israel Galvan there was an extreme expression of modernity (talking about the Flamenco movie version and his work with Nuñez, etc.), however, somehow the flamenco is cutting through if you understand it, and it is not cheesy. There is some depth to it. But then there is Rocio Molina smoking a cigarette, dancing on a box, etc, and then she is naked and throwing period blood on the stage. Somehow they lost the "depth" aspect and went for the spectical or shock or whatever.
Eventually there will be the aficionados for this just like Cage/Pollack et al, where we have to be told how to interpret this junk or WE actually have no depth for not getting it. I am reminded of Rupus talking about chimps that painted modern art and got high praise for their work before their authorship was revealed. That really pissed off Estebanana!
