GAYLES.TV.- The Day of the book and tradition fills the streets and squares of prose, roses and poetry. Literary recommendations, signatures, dedications and selfies are multiplied in book stands. New features are presented and the media figures go down from the podium to approach the plebe raising their publications, often booms made in an editorial assembly line that have no other function than to deify a little more to the celebrity of turn. Useless and expendable titles.
And the world LGTBI is no exception in that sense, so when it appears a jewel as precious and cared as "Inside doors", we believe that it is worth assigning a space on this page. And is that the work of Fernando López Rodríguez, published by the Egales editorial, It presents a different reading and perspective on the Flemish tradition and everything that links it to sexual dissidence and gender misunderstandings of any kind. Fernando tells us about the paradox implied by the invisibility of a negated homosexuality that permeates the art and trajectory of so many who have been in the world of flamenco.
It is an ambitious, passionate and passionate essay, a serious attempt to combine the human approach to the protagonists, dancers, dancers, to cante and music and an artistic taste that dignifies an art often no longer or even worse, appropriate for sectors reactionaries away from their deepest essence.
The work of López Rodríguez is divided into three parts: it starts with a tour of the figures of cante and flamenco dancing of the 20th century, from Antonio de Mairena to Carmen Amaya or Miguel de Molina; Secondly, the word and the testimony of active Flemish artists in relation to the visibility of sexuality in their work is collected and finally the author extracts, from all this, aesthetic and philosophical reflections in relation to homosexuality, gender and obscurantism that has denied the manifestation of artists and creators who, paradoxically, sought in flamenco a form of expression, an escape from the repression of their own personal experiences.
A book that comes to revolutionize the heterogeneous world of flamenco, a text that will raise blisters in some sectors while it is applauded in others, because as its author affirms "Flamenco identity, as a sensitive fiction, is queer but not only because of its origin, but because of its essence ..."
