di Raissa Avilés

“Maybe a concert”, is a journey that embodies music in a continuous flow, trying to go beyond the songs, what they represent or seem to represent. Under the glossy surface of the show lurk contradictions, doubts, yearnings and hopes that the performers use with passionate irony to demand autonomy for their social, political, sentimental and artistic identity, wondering if this is possible in a context of constant compromise between violence and security, control and freedom. 

In the staging by Raul Vargas Torres, songs and stage action do not overlap but burst into each other, reshuffling the hierarchy of languages and playing with different genres and styles, creating a hybrid aesthetic universe that draws on Mexican folk tradition, the varieté, Western and the pop universe. The mostly original pieces written by Raissa Avilés and Balazs Varnai with some versions, range from folklore to Indie with winks to baroque and jazz, embellished and amalgamated by the arrangements with piano, rodes and electronic keyboard by Alix Logiaco.
