Los Inescalables Alpes, buscando a Currito ('The unscalable Alps, looking for Currito') is propelled by the burning desire to see someone again. The title and the dance encapsulate an endless effort: to climb the unscalable. Andalusian choreographer María del Mar Suárez, aka La Chachi, has created a hybrid and deeply personal form of flamenco. This style respects yet deconstructs tradition, incorporating elements of krump, all filtered through a punk sensibility.

The live sound from two musicians and a singer first takes centre stage and commands attention. Then, a faint light reveals the figure of La Chachi: her body firmly grounded, flamenco emerging in bursts, like spasms of the limbs. Movements twist and break, disciplines turn upside down. Are we witnessing a concert or a dance performance? The music builds, La Chachi advances toward us as if climbing the Alps, and we watch her as from the top of a mountain. The music loops and thickens with each cycle, like an avalanche that swallows everything in its path, carrying us along and refusing to let go of the search.

Los Inescalables Alpes is visceral and hypnotic, a singular experience that defies genres and establishes La Chachi as one of the most compelling voices of her generation.
