- Spatial Elements
- Body shapes- hunched, bent backs,
imitating reaping/sowing of farmers
Medium levels- hardship. Higher
levels- couple dance/male trio,
overcoming the difficulties of farming
life (elevations). Grouping- all dancers
'working'. Male and female partners-
working together, a support in the
individual relationships.

- Dynamics
- - Reaching/looking up- hope, praying for good
crop/rain, faith- sustained, suspended movements.
- Hunched back/slumped over- hardship, working
on the land- heavy collapsing. -
Ploughing/scooping/digging- working on land-
collapsing and greater use of weight

Ploughing/scooping/digging- working on land-

- Circling motion/motif- cyclical, never
ending, combining all body parts,
working in and out, daily life. Spatial
pathways, circular. No start, no end to
hardships of life on farming land.
Cyclical nature of the seasons, of the
day. Generational cyclical nature
- Aural Elements
- Spanish/Catalan Music. Maria Del
Mar Bonet. Romantic Spanish
poems- enforces subject matter.
Duato is dependent on music.
Percussive movements, reinforces
Spanish background.

- Dancers
- 3 male, 3 female. Group dances,
couples, male and female trios
and mother/daughter trio. All
expressing various experiences,
group dependency, sense of
community to find hope in
despair. Others assisting others
in times of hardship (men, and
mother/daughter duo)

- Setting
- Use of stick fence props- 'enclosed
garden'. This encloses the dancers into
a space, restricting them from the whole
stage. Representing the restriction they
feel in life due to the farming life. Also
sets the scene and reinforces the
subject matter.

- Movement
- ORGANIZING THE DANCE
- Work has use of motif repetition- symbolic of pain, cyclical
nature of such, and farming life and suffering. Dance
structure- cyclical (starts out at morning/ends at night,
shown through use of lighting, dawn-dusk). Transitions-
various sections represent various relationships. Cyclical
motif repetition, reaping, all tie into various sections
(changing duos etc) this creates a unifying thread. Through
repetition, choices of lighting and costume (females having
same dress type but different colours, males different colour
shirt- same but varied experience) and use of music, unity
is created.

- INTERPRETATION OF THE WORK
- Context: The Spanish Civil War (1800's).
Oppression of the Catalan (Catalonia)
Country. Hardships of the economy. The
Spanish Government only depicting
Spain in a certain way (bullfights) not
actually addressing all cultural aspects of
it, especially Catalonian farming life.
- Genre:
Classical/contemporary and
Spanish/folk training.
- Subject matter: the hardships of
rural/farming life, particularly of that in
Spain. The cyclical nature of hardship
- Significance: work is important and
seminal as it showcases the different
unadvertised side to Catalonian folk life.
It was Nacho Duato's first work, shows
Spain in a different light to Civil
War/dictatorship. Showcases the
ongoing culture of Spain. Showcases
the hardships of rural life, which are still,
and will always be, relevant as it is
dependent on the ever changing state of
the land.
