1
00:00:01,648 --> 00:00:06,648
(feet tapping)
(drums beating)
2
00:00:19,161 --> 00:00:20,829
- Can't hear it.
3
00:00:23,165 --> 00:00:24,750
- We can't hear the feet.
4
00:00:27,044 --> 00:00:29,671
- We can't hear the
guitar either.
5
00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:33,842
- We can’t hear the feet
nor the guitar.
6
00:00:33,842 --> 00:00:36,887
we need feet and guitar...
7
00:00:37,554 --> 00:00:39,681
Guitar, and feet.
8
00:01:53,246 --> 00:01:55,829
(upbeat music)
9
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:07,283
(gentle music)
10
00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:11,965
(music rising)
11
00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:30,380
- Broadway is any
performing artist's dream.
12
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,083
It's where the best shows
are played...
13
00:02:34,863 --> 00:02:37,157
Naturally Broadway is
always a reference.
14
00:02:37,174 --> 00:02:39,350
Every opportunity
I had to visit New York,
15
00:02:39,375 --> 00:02:44,014
I would go see each
new show that had opened.
16
00:02:45,832 --> 00:02:47,875
Searching for that level
of artistry,
17
00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:50,287
so it's like the dream is
to get there.
18
00:02:59,086 --> 00:03:02,370
- It's very difficult to
make a successful show
19
00:03:02,370 --> 00:03:06,240
in New York City, it's a
very competitive market.
20
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,700
And it's one of those things
that there's all kinds of rules
21
00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:15,143
about how a show gets created,
but there's also no rules.
22
00:03:18,810 --> 00:03:22,543
- Coming from Venezuela,
there's a lot of excitement.
23
00:03:22,543 --> 00:03:23,993
We're going to New York City.
24
00:03:24,950 --> 00:03:26,143
We're flying to New York City,
25
00:03:26,168 --> 00:03:28,278
we'll bring the
show up there soon.
26
00:03:28,303 --> 00:03:30,566
The spirit is super high.
27
00:03:31,470 --> 00:03:33,400
There's girls that
have been dancing
28
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,623
this material for
over six years.
29
00:03:36,810 --> 00:03:41,130
Going to the Big Apple,
take a bite out.
30
00:03:41,130 --> 00:03:42,470
- The biggest
step I think to
31
00:03:42,470 --> 00:03:44,213
getting to Broadway is money.
32
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,150
Anyone will take your money
33
00:03:46,150 --> 00:03:48,850
and let you come into their
theatre and perform there.
34
00:03:49,980 --> 00:03:51,884
- To premiere a show in New York
35
00:03:51,899 --> 00:03:54,610
is an infinitely significant
achievement.
36
00:03:54,635 --> 00:03:57,337
There is a wide number
of technicalities
37
00:03:57,362 --> 00:03:58,363
that come into play.
38
00:03:58,380 --> 00:04:01,758
In fact, we've seen many
shows fail in the attempt.
39
00:04:03,460 --> 00:04:06,240
- We really
needed critical acclaim
40
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,810
to help sell tickets.
41
00:04:07,810 --> 00:04:10,733
We had to educate the
population on what the show was.
42
00:04:13,466 --> 00:04:15,333
- We were dragging
a lot of losses.
43
00:04:15,339 --> 00:04:16,939
We were the Titanic.
44
00:04:17,690 --> 00:04:20,040
- My advice from a
financial point of view,
45
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,580
close down immediately
46
00:04:21,580 --> 00:04:24,403
or you're gonna risk
losing a lot more money.
47
00:04:25,891 --> 00:04:28,921
I knew that they were
unconventional and I knew that
48
00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:32,320
it was gonna be an
unconventional situation.
49
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,236
But that's also what
can make magic happen.
50
00:04:35,236 --> 00:04:37,819
(gentle music)
51
00:05:52,060 --> 00:05:54,068
(music fades out)
52
00:05:56,982 --> 00:05:59,227
(dress flapping)
53
00:06:30,103 --> 00:06:32,686
(gentle music)
54
00:06:39,938 --> 00:06:41,282
Three years passed
55
00:06:41,307 --> 00:06:43,359
from the day “Between Worlds”
premiered in Venezuela
56
00:06:43,837 --> 00:06:46,180
to the day it arrived
on Broadway.
57
00:06:47,699 --> 00:06:50,805
During those three years
the show grew little by little,
58
00:06:51,428 --> 00:06:54,412
because we never really
had the funding
59
00:06:54,914 --> 00:06:57,350
to produce the show
60
00:06:57,375 --> 00:07:00,279
and to lock ourselves
for three months in a warehouse
61
00:07:00,304 --> 00:07:03,341
to assemble artistically,
design lighting or scenery.
62
00:07:03,565 --> 00:07:08,245
It was actually something we did
little by little.
63
00:07:08,386 --> 00:07:11,473
And what a company
can normally accomplish
64
00:07:11,487 --> 00:07:13,907
within three months anywhere,
65
00:07:13,908 --> 00:07:16,229
here it would take a year
to accomplish.
66
00:07:16,645 --> 00:07:19,385
- From 2013 to 2019
67
00:07:19,409 --> 00:07:23,668
the deepening of the
socialist revolution,
68
00:07:25,044 --> 00:07:30,498
socialism, socialism
and more socialism.
69
00:07:30,967 --> 00:07:33,803
- What is going on here?
Look It's a protest, you see?
70
00:07:33,803 --> 00:07:35,472
We are arriving at the theater.
71
00:07:35,472 --> 00:07:36,614
You see?
72
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:39,601
Look at all the buses here.
73
00:07:40,101 --> 00:07:41,895
We have no way
of entering the theater.
74
00:07:41,962 --> 00:07:43,643
We come to a rehearsal
75
00:07:43,667 --> 00:07:46,341
and have no way of
getting into the theater.
76
00:07:46,649 --> 00:07:49,986
It is very exhausting to work
with musicians here.
77
00:07:49,986 --> 00:07:52,614
To work with a group
of 30 people,
78
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:54,266
because when it's not
the traffic,
79
00:07:54,282 --> 00:07:55,733
it's the need
80
00:07:55,758 --> 00:07:57,677
or it's the issue of the economy
81
00:07:57,702 --> 00:07:59,496
or the issue of public safety.
82
00:07:59,829 --> 00:08:01,623
All of that somehow
83
00:08:01,623 --> 00:08:05,126
when you sit and you're going to
play the music that is written
84
00:08:05,293 --> 00:08:09,306
one way or another, it generates
a state of mind
85
00:08:09,331 --> 00:08:11,331
that is not ideal to work.
86
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:15,457
(music rising)
87
00:08:23,921 --> 00:08:26,995
(dramatic music)
88
00:08:27,148 --> 00:08:28,441
- Put more breath into it.
89
00:08:33,930 --> 00:08:37,325
This is something that I am not
going to continue to repeat.
90
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:40,771
You must breathe
doing the posture.
91
00:08:40,854 --> 00:08:42,147
You are not breathing it!
92
00:08:47,304 --> 00:08:49,223
It looks uneven.
93
00:08:49,254 --> 00:08:52,000
We're not seeing the
choreography that is being set.
94
00:08:52,533 --> 00:08:54,367
One two and three and...
95
00:08:57,428 --> 00:08:58,747
Bigger!
96
00:08:58,818 --> 00:09:00,016
(all inhale in unison)
97
00:09:02,584 --> 00:09:05,334
(dramatic music)
98
00:09:06,312 --> 00:09:07,438
Bigger, Claudia!
99
00:09:14,028 --> 00:09:15,572
I think that flamenco
is rich enough,
100
00:09:15,572 --> 00:09:19,284
that it doesn't need
any contributions to it.
101
00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:22,441
Flamenco is Flamenco
102
00:09:22,479 --> 00:09:25,315
and it is beautiful
the way it is.
103
00:09:26,149 --> 00:09:28,480
But when you make it
a stage production,
104
00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:32,281
I still feel that
general audiences
105
00:09:32,307 --> 00:09:36,176
are not drawn to watch
a "Flamenco show".
106
00:09:36,201 --> 00:09:38,453
Only Flamenco lovers.
107
00:09:38,787 --> 00:09:41,906
Thankfully there are more
of them every day worldwide.
108
00:09:42,207 --> 00:09:44,959
They're the ones that buy
a ticket, buy records
109
00:09:45,168 --> 00:09:47,087
and gravitate towards Flamenco.
110
00:09:47,103 --> 00:09:50,856
and I believe it is an art form
that can reach masses.
111
00:09:51,575 --> 00:09:53,744
Capable of captivating
many audiences.
112
00:09:54,261 --> 00:10:00,308
Only if we find ways
to expose it in wider forms.
113
00:10:01,785 --> 00:10:06,785
(upbeat music)
(feet tapping)
114
00:10:26,502 --> 00:10:29,735
(clapping)
(guitar playing)
115
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:45,158
(guitar playing)
116
00:10:49,483 --> 00:10:52,104
(feet tapping)
117
00:11:35,946 --> 00:11:39,108
(guitar playing)
(drumming)
118
00:11:39,825 --> 00:11:41,129
It sounds very high.
119
00:11:42,426 --> 00:11:46,259
(singing in foreign language)
120
00:11:46,558 --> 00:11:49,174
(clapping, foot tapping)
121
00:11:52,061 --> 00:11:54,480
I do two counts, cajón only.
122
00:11:55,924 --> 00:11:56,947
Muted.
123
00:11:57,717 --> 00:12:01,343
(feet tapping)
124
00:12:41,386 --> 00:12:42,816
Yes, it sounds really good.
125
00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:46,347
In regards to "Between Worlds",
126
00:12:46,391 --> 00:12:50,479
It's a piece that fuses Flamenco
with the Urban genre,
127
00:12:50,521 --> 00:12:54,457
however, it keeps the essence
of each one of these genres
128
00:12:54,482 --> 00:12:56,449
through a dramatic plot.
129
00:12:56,474 --> 00:12:59,837
Meaning it has characters,
it tells a love story,
130
00:12:59,862 --> 00:13:01,231
you have a villain and a hero,
131
00:13:01,256 --> 00:13:03,256
therefore it is very appealing
for children.
132
00:13:05,466 --> 00:13:08,216
(dramatic music)
133
00:13:16,245 --> 00:13:18,828
(clapping)
(feet tapping)
134
00:13:18,945 --> 00:13:21,117
(percussion)
135
00:13:27,682 --> 00:13:31,106
(feet tapping)
(clappping)
136
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,102
- It was created with
a very organic approach.
137
00:13:39,777 --> 00:13:41,892
We were not looking to do
138
00:13:41,916 --> 00:13:43,548
something different
to stand out,
139
00:13:43,591 --> 00:13:46,368
but the dialogue between us
the choreographers.
140
00:13:46,384 --> 00:13:47,392
In this case,
141
00:13:47,416 --> 00:13:50,692
my work with Jesus Orta who
is the urban choreographer,
142
00:13:50,888 --> 00:13:52,997
with Roberto Castillo, who is
the choreographer
143
00:13:53,022 --> 00:13:54,560
of all the theatrical percussion
144
00:13:54,625 --> 00:13:56,720
and under the direction
of Pablo Croce,
145
00:13:56,745 --> 00:13:58,692
who is in charge of
the dramaturgy,
146
00:13:58,717 --> 00:14:03,443
resulted in Between Worlds,
which are different worlds
147
00:14:03,468 --> 00:14:06,135
unified by one story.
148
00:14:07,472 --> 00:14:10,055
(upbeat guitar music)
149
00:14:53,493 --> 00:14:57,326
(singing in foreign language)
150
00:15:10,284 --> 00:15:11,644
(music fades out)
151
00:15:24,090 --> 00:15:26,522
(indistinct chatter)
152
00:15:29,178 --> 00:15:32,189
(background hum of airplane)
153
00:15:38,606 --> 00:15:39,606
- Okay.
154
00:15:39,668 --> 00:15:42,458
- On 74th you're going to
make a left
155
00:15:42,483 --> 00:15:44,585
and try to get on the Palmetto,
156
00:15:44,610 --> 00:15:48,660
then off the next exit.
157
00:15:48,698 --> 00:15:49,741
- Oh.
158
00:15:49,746 --> 00:15:51,801
- Once you're on 72nd,
call me if you need to.
159
00:15:52,119 --> 00:15:54,766
- Okay, perfect.
I'll call you later.
160
00:15:57,624 --> 00:15:58,659
Did you understand anything?
161
00:15:58,684 --> 00:16:00,628
- Yeah 72nd, the penitentiary,
73rd... the shit.
162
00:16:05,358 --> 00:16:08,610
(drums banging)
163
00:16:08,610 --> 00:16:11,660
- A lot of people ask me,
"What is the show, what is it?"
164
00:16:11,660 --> 00:16:15,910
And I'm like, it's just
a fusion of worlds,
165
00:16:15,910 --> 00:16:18,870
of all different worlds
coming together.
166
00:16:18,870 --> 00:16:23,670
From the street, from a
Flamenco, from Spanish,
167
00:16:23,670 --> 00:16:27,500
from just everything, just
everything fusing together
168
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:31,000
and just creating
this crazy cool show.
169
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,880
And it's like, I can't
even explain it sometimes
170
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,027
because it's so different.
171
00:16:37,419 --> 00:16:40,002
(upbeat music)
172
00:16:40,161 --> 00:16:41,841
(clapping, percussion)
173
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,631
Great start especially
if the New York plan comes true,
174
00:16:45,646 --> 00:16:48,692
we would be a step ahead.
175
00:16:48,716 --> 00:16:52,461
We know everyone,
we know our make up.
176
00:16:52,486 --> 00:16:54,335
- It is one of the
most important
177
00:16:54,359 --> 00:16:56,907
markets in the entire world.
178
00:16:57,241 --> 00:17:02,038
It's where there are the most
artists per square foot,
179
00:17:02,038 --> 00:17:05,499
therefore it is a challenge.
We are not quite ready yet.
180
00:17:05,977 --> 00:17:08,560
(upbeat music)
181
00:17:10,529 --> 00:17:12,365
(drumming)
182
00:17:13,324 --> 00:17:15,077
Oh no, come on...
183
00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:17,702
(upbeat pop music)
184
00:17:18,664 --> 00:17:19,664
(laughter)
185
00:17:20,666 --> 00:17:22,222
No filming, only pictures.
186
00:17:24,752 --> 00:17:28,013
(upbeat music continues)
187
00:17:38,489 --> 00:17:41,322
(crew chattering)
188
00:17:43,897 --> 00:17:45,639
(indistinct)
189
00:17:46,373 --> 00:17:48,501
- This is just the beginning!
190
00:17:48,501 --> 00:17:54,298
Based on what we experienced
in these 5 performances,
191
00:17:54,298 --> 00:17:57,891
we will be able to work and make
the most of it
192
00:17:57,915 --> 00:18:00,704
for the opportunities
yet to come.
193
00:18:01,263 --> 00:18:04,692
God willing it will be a bright
and beautiful future for us all.
194
00:18:04,717 --> 00:18:05,825
- Amen.
195
00:18:07,228 --> 00:18:09,876
- When the opportunity
presented itself
196
00:18:09,900 --> 00:18:11,134
it was like...
197
00:18:12,278 --> 00:18:13,734
all paths opened and said:
198
00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:15,471
Well, this is everything
I want in my life!
199
00:18:15,512 --> 00:18:20,884
To measure it next to
other world class productions.
200
00:18:22,436 --> 00:18:23,548
To you,
201
00:18:23,573 --> 00:18:24,574
to how you dance
202
00:18:24,813 --> 00:18:25,814
to how you train
203
00:18:26,106 --> 00:18:27,156
to how you sing
204
00:18:27,441 --> 00:18:28,901
and to your way of life.
Cheers!
205
00:18:29,250 --> 00:18:30,543
- But honestly...
206
00:18:30,918 --> 00:18:33,104
Pablo was the person
that pushed this forward.
207
00:18:33,129 --> 00:18:35,297
Pablo was the number one
believer,
208
00:18:35,297 --> 00:18:37,100
confident that we could get
there
209
00:18:37,687 --> 00:18:40,038
and run a season
210
00:18:40,077 --> 00:18:43,264
Off Broadway next to
the best productions.
211
00:18:43,347 --> 00:18:44,748
For me it was a dream,
212
00:18:45,762 --> 00:18:47,642
but I didn't know how
to achieve this dream.
213
00:18:48,193 --> 00:18:50,776
(gentle music)
214
00:19:36,102 --> 00:19:37,782
(gentle electronic music)
215
00:19:38,362 --> 00:19:40,344
(quiet street sounds)
216
00:19:49,436 --> 00:19:50,436
(indistinct)
217
00:19:50,795 --> 00:19:51,795
- It's a...
218
00:19:51,816 --> 00:19:54,310
I'm the producer of the show,
Between Worlds
219
00:19:55,487 --> 00:19:57,167
(woman speaking on phone)
220
00:19:57,428 --> 00:19:59,680
- I'm in 35th but it goes west.
221
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,393
I'm gonna have to turn on 34th.
222
00:20:02,118 --> 00:20:03,851
(person speaking on phone)
223
00:20:04,730 --> 00:20:07,000
Hey, there you are.
Good to meet you, man.
224
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,423
- Pleasure, Pablo.
- Okay, nice to meet you.
225
00:20:14,757 --> 00:20:15,757
- Hey, guys.
226
00:20:16,017 --> 00:20:17,844
(crosstalk)
227
00:20:18,510 --> 00:20:20,361
- Good morning.
- You guys okay?
228
00:20:20,635 --> 00:20:21,635
- Yeah.
229
00:20:21,971 --> 00:20:26,884
(indistinct chatter)
230
00:20:27,130 --> 00:20:29,080
I've got a $5000
check right here.
231
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,080
But we made it out wrong,
232
00:20:30,104 --> 00:20:31,982
so we gotta deposit
in to Pablo Croce.
233
00:20:34,484 --> 00:20:37,667
- Didn't you stay
in like a shelter?
234
00:20:37,949 --> 00:20:38,949
- What?
235
00:20:39,156 --> 00:20:40,156
(indistinct)
236
00:20:40,448 --> 00:20:44,119
- Yeah he stayed at like
a motel across the street.
237
00:20:44,402 --> 00:20:45,402
- What?
238
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,187
- Pablo did, why?
- Yes, Pablo did.
239
00:20:49,253 --> 00:20:51,560
- He could have slept
on our (indistinct)...
240
00:20:51,584 --> 00:20:54,630
- Compared to other shows,
the development process,
241
00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:57,350
they fast-tracked, they
went right to New York
242
00:20:57,350 --> 00:21:00,220
very, very quickly, which
was one of the things
243
00:21:00,220 --> 00:21:02,320
that was so interesting
about working with them,
244
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:07,320
because they were absolutely
fearless in their sense of,
245
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,670
they made their decision
they were doing it,
246
00:21:09,670 --> 00:21:11,860
they moved, they forged ahead.
247
00:21:11,860 --> 00:21:15,020
And they hired me to
come along and basically
248
00:21:15,020 --> 00:21:17,310
tell them everything that
they shouldn't be doing,
249
00:21:17,310 --> 00:21:19,693
which was,
"Don't do the show yet."
250
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,863
(slow guitar music)
251
00:21:26,411 --> 00:21:29,599
(music intensifies)
252
00:21:31,957 --> 00:21:34,024
(flamenco clapping, percussion)
253
00:21:34,167 --> 00:21:35,847
(fast guitar playing)
254
00:21:49,241 --> 00:21:51,825
Considering that we
were Off Broadway,
255
00:21:51,849 --> 00:21:55,244
we were in a privileged
location.
256
00:21:55,607 --> 00:21:57,623
We were one block
from Radio City.
257
00:21:57,656 --> 00:22:00,241
Wicked and Chicago were
behind us.
258
00:22:00,277 --> 00:22:04,867
We were next to all of the
great Broadway shows.
259
00:22:07,034 --> 00:22:12,254
(rhythmic Latin music)
260
00:22:32,403 --> 00:22:35,486
(people beat boxing)
261
00:22:35,576 --> 00:22:37,016
(clicking fingers)
262
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,830
- Cause the
whole show itself is about
263
00:22:44,830 --> 00:22:46,710
worlds coming together.
264
00:22:46,710 --> 00:22:49,560
And it truly,
really was an experience of
265
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,520
different worlds
coming together.
266
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,470
Culturally,
from all the Venezuelans,
267
00:22:55,470 --> 00:22:58,140
most of them for the first time,
268
00:22:58,140 --> 00:23:02,310
acclimating to New York
City and to the culture,
269
00:23:02,310 --> 00:23:04,139
and us acclimating to them.
270
00:23:04,329 --> 00:23:05,888
(background chatter)
271
00:23:05,919 --> 00:23:07,208
- You psyched?
- Of course!
272
00:23:07,374 --> 00:23:09,249
(indistinct)
273
00:23:09,434 --> 00:23:10,808
- I can't wait for you to see.
274
00:23:10,808 --> 00:23:13,565
There's nothing for you
to see in the theatre yet.
275
00:23:13,565 --> 00:23:14,705
But soon, but soon.
276
00:23:15,771 --> 00:23:17,398
- How are you doing?
- Hi, good to see you.
277
00:23:19,128 --> 00:23:21,628
Yeah, Jamie, nice to see
you, I met you backstage.
278
00:23:21,809 --> 00:23:23,895
(indistinct)
279
00:23:24,210 --> 00:23:26,230
So listen,
I gotta go to the box office
280
00:23:26,230 --> 00:23:28,300
to start processing
benefit stuff.
281
00:23:29,528 --> 00:23:31,923
And we're meeting downstairs
in like five minutes.
282
00:23:36,050 --> 00:23:38,973
- Five barrels are
ready to be used.
283
00:23:40,570 --> 00:23:43,810
But in rehearsals,
they're needed.
284
00:23:43,810 --> 00:23:45,093
So we do use them.
285
00:23:46,090 --> 00:23:49,633
- Right, the fans and the
shawls and the spears.
286
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,557
Cajones, the square boxes.
287
00:23:52,557 --> 00:23:54,635
- Cajones.
- Cajones, there you go.
288
00:23:54,635 --> 00:23:56,779
- Say ca, cajones.
289
00:23:56,812 --> 00:23:58,741
- Cajones.
- Don't say cojones.
290
00:23:58,804 --> 00:24:00,195
(laughter)
291
00:24:01,525 --> 00:24:04,720
- It's a
very big difference.
292
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:05,829
- Sometimes.
293
00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:09,831
(drums beating)
294
00:24:09,831 --> 00:24:11,296
- My name is Adolfo Herrera.
295
00:24:11,321 --> 00:24:14,741
I'm the drummer percussionist
for "Between Worlds."
296
00:24:15,470 --> 00:24:20,430
I'm always playing, or
the cajon or the drums.
297
00:24:20,430 --> 00:24:22,520
And I'm always playing
Flamenco rhythms
298
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,786
as Seguidilla, Bulería.
299
00:24:25,632 --> 00:24:29,062
So I'm always doubling
what they're doing
300
00:24:29,094 --> 00:24:32,834
with the feet as
the tradition marks.
301
00:24:32,950 --> 00:24:35,666
And it's very interesting,
very nice.
302
00:24:35,666 --> 00:24:40,666
(upbeat music)
(feet tapping)
303
00:24:43,999 --> 00:24:46,185
Eight, ten, two...
304
00:24:46,210 --> 00:24:47,337
three,
305
00:24:47,404 --> 00:24:48,792
seven, eight.
306
00:25:05,979 --> 00:25:10,064
- Imagine the amount
of work to get there.
307
00:25:10,089 --> 00:25:14,588
Twenty people from everywhere
but New York,
308
00:25:14,598 --> 00:25:17,309
that you bring to New York.
309
00:25:17,658 --> 00:25:23,288
Visas, housing,
food, rehearsals...
310
00:25:23,313 --> 00:25:25,683
A three-year creative process
311
00:25:25,691 --> 00:25:29,082
to be able to show
as transparently as possible.
312
00:25:29,112 --> 00:25:32,165
What we do
and what we believe in.
313
00:25:36,639 --> 00:25:38,640
- This is where
we're gonna be living
314
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,800
for the next couple of months.
315
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,240
These two dressing rooms
are gonna be either
316
00:25:44,380 --> 00:25:47,080
stage managing office and
wardrobe and a dressing room.
317
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,667
So, right this way.
318
00:25:50,024 --> 00:25:52,184
(feet tapping)
319
00:25:52,509 --> 00:25:56,708
(clapping, percussion)
320
00:25:57,683 --> 00:25:59,321
(car horns blaring)
321
00:25:59,741 --> 00:26:02,369
- First time in New York?
322
00:26:02,369 --> 00:26:04,371
- Pioja is also a first timer
323
00:26:04,830 --> 00:26:06,373
- Chique, Pioja, Claudia
324
00:26:06,373 --> 00:26:08,697
- I know New York but not really
325
00:26:08,734 --> 00:26:13,009
- So we have: Cinquemani,
Pioja, Claudia, Omar.
326
00:26:13,447 --> 00:26:15,909
- It's also the first time
for Aquiles
327
00:26:15,924 --> 00:26:19,213
- First time in New York
and it is to dance on Broadway.
328
00:26:21,707 --> 00:26:25,540
(singing in foreign language)
329
00:26:41,226 --> 00:26:44,561
- Brian and Aquiles are going
to do it as you used to do it.
330
00:26:59,134 --> 00:27:01,178
- When you run on Broadway
331
00:27:02,054 --> 00:27:03,860
it is customary to do previews.
332
00:27:04,166 --> 00:27:05,298
Two or three weeks.
333
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:09,254
Well some productions do
many weeks of previews.
334
00:27:09,269 --> 00:27:11,480
We only did two weeks.
335
00:27:11,715 --> 00:27:15,317
- It's a trial
called “previews”.
336
00:27:15,342 --> 00:27:16,860
Those are shows
open to the public,
337
00:27:16,885 --> 00:27:20,354
but you start selling tickets
In this case at 50% discount.
338
00:27:21,108 --> 00:27:22,784
- Tonight
is the first preview,
339
00:27:22,809 --> 00:27:24,643
which is essentially
the first time
340
00:27:25,209 --> 00:27:27,190
the piece is performed
for the public.
341
00:27:28,060 --> 00:27:30,090
So the next couple of weeks
we'll be going through previews,
342
00:27:30,090 --> 00:27:32,470
which means that
designers can
343
00:27:32,470 --> 00:27:33,900
have a chance to change things,
344
00:27:33,900 --> 00:27:36,970
the director can sort out
how to make the show better.
345
00:27:36,970 --> 00:27:39,970
So that when we open, that's
when it sets in stone,
346
00:27:39,970 --> 00:27:41,399
the show will be
the best possible show
347
00:27:41,424 --> 00:27:44,235
that they can have.
So, that would be previews.
348
00:27:45,165 --> 00:27:47,768
In the "Seguirilla"
since the music goes...
349
00:27:49,253 --> 00:27:51,237
you must focus on being in sync.
350
00:27:51,712 --> 00:27:53,836
Not loud; but even...
351
00:27:53,861 --> 00:27:56,277
making all the feet sounds
crystal clear.
352
00:27:56,843 --> 00:27:59,760
(fingers clicking)
353
00:28:03,934 --> 00:28:06,517
(gentle music)
354
00:28:24,244 --> 00:28:26,378
(rhythmic clapping)
355
00:28:30,210 --> 00:28:31,863
(indistinct chatter on radio)
356
00:28:35,957 --> 00:28:40,957
(feet tapping)
(drums beating)
357
00:28:46,406 --> 00:28:49,573
(audience applauding)
358
00:28:57,220 --> 00:28:59,430
- The audiences loved the show,
359
00:28:59,430 --> 00:29:02,694
and the audience response
for the show was incredible.
360
00:29:02,694 --> 00:29:03,694
- Very nice.
361
00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:06,230
- Terrific.
362
00:29:06,255 --> 00:29:07,332
- Awesome.
363
00:29:07,371 --> 00:29:08,450
- I like it very much.
364
00:29:08,498 --> 00:29:10,500
As a fellow Venezuelan
I am speechless.
365
00:29:10,703 --> 00:29:13,794
I am extremely proud of Siudy,
who was outstanding,
366
00:29:13,837 --> 00:29:15,552
and of the entire company.
367
00:29:16,102 --> 00:29:18,954
- My favourite part is when
368
00:29:18,978 --> 00:29:21,935
the girl chucked
the guy in the cage.
369
00:29:21,970 --> 00:29:23,149
- Fantastic.
370
00:29:23,195 --> 00:29:26,990
I'm from Spain and I have never
seen a production like this one.
371
00:29:27,392 --> 00:29:28,880
- You can tell that
everyone in the cast
372
00:29:28,904 --> 00:29:30,439
enjoys what they're doing.
373
00:29:30,660 --> 00:29:33,038
I am so emotional
I want to cry...
374
00:29:33,460 --> 00:29:38,460
(women cheering)
(upbeat music)
375
00:29:41,505 --> 00:29:44,800
We made it!
376
00:29:54,048 --> 00:29:56,631
(wind howling)
377
00:30:06,014 --> 00:30:09,629
♪ Source of life... ♪
378
00:30:09,653 --> 00:30:16,524

381
00:30:28,871 --> 00:30:30,929
- A very important
building right there.
382
00:30:31,874 --> 00:30:33,945
The New York Times.
383
00:30:34,443 --> 00:30:38,841
(vocalizing)
384
00:30:40,394 --> 00:30:44,130
- The New York Times
is the most important
385
00:30:44,130 --> 00:30:48,070
critic in New York, and
it's just a known fact.
386
00:30:48,070 --> 00:30:50,293
New York Times has
made and broken shows.
387
00:30:51,730 --> 00:30:53,882
And with a few exceptions,
388
00:30:54,710 --> 00:30:56,593
specifically if a
show's a Disney show,
389
00:30:56,605 --> 00:30:58,129
then it might run...
390
00:30:58,153 --> 00:30:59,609
it doesn't really need
the good reviews.
391
00:30:59,634 --> 00:31:02,954
But for anything else
that's not a brand,
392
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,300
that isn't something that
everybody already knows,
393
00:31:05,300 --> 00:31:06,960
the review, especially
the New York Times review,
394
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,670
means a lot, and it gets
the word of mouth out there.
395
00:31:09,670 --> 00:31:13,320
- And a good review
in the New York Times
396
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,433
can absolutely
create a hit, in of itself.
397
00:31:18,590 --> 00:31:22,663
A bad review can destroy a show.
398
00:31:24,097 --> 00:31:27,290
"Between Worlds" needed
good reviews because
399
00:31:28,190 --> 00:31:31,260
we had to educate the
population on what the show was.
400
00:31:31,260 --> 00:31:34,880
They didn't know what it was,
it's Flamenco, it's hip hop.
401
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,870
It's music, it's dance,
it's theatre,
402
00:31:36,870 --> 00:31:38,420
it's all these different things.
403
00:31:38,420 --> 00:31:44,158
So we really needed critical
acclaim... to help sell tickets.
404
00:31:44,790 --> 00:31:48,720
- The pre-sales were half,
405
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,313
50%, of the expected number.
406
00:31:52,994 --> 00:31:54,206
We were halfway there.
407
00:31:54,593 --> 00:31:57,240
- Because the expenses
are so high in New York,
408
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,330
it's so expensive
to produce a show,
409
00:31:59,330 --> 00:32:02,100
and that was a big show
with a lot of elements
410
00:32:02,130 --> 00:32:05,564
in a big theatre right
in Times Square.
411
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,820
It needed to sell a lot of
tickets just to break even,
412
00:32:08,820 --> 00:32:10,724
let alone go into profit.
413
00:32:10,779 --> 00:32:15,575
- The average sales
were below 50%...
414
00:32:15,700 --> 00:32:18,661
and most of the audience was
purchasing at a 50% discount.
415
00:32:18,954 --> 00:32:24,084
That was an unexpected initial
hit which was hard to overcome.
416
00:32:24,798 --> 00:32:27,381
(upbeat music)
417
00:32:31,283 --> 00:32:33,891
(gentle guitar music)
418
00:32:42,539 --> 00:32:46,372
(singing in foreign language)
419
00:32:56,938 --> 00:32:59,883
(rapid guitar playing)
420
00:33:08,236 --> 00:33:11,076
- Mainly, I believe
there is a lot of love.
421
00:33:11,253 --> 00:33:14,548
If there wasn't love,
it would be impossible.
422
00:33:14,578 --> 00:33:16,670
We've been together 8 years.
423
00:33:20,959 --> 00:33:22,261
Are you happy?
424
00:33:22,726 --> 00:33:24,436
I'm very happy.
425
00:33:27,063 --> 00:33:28,440
As a producer,
426
00:33:28,715 --> 00:33:30,594
I want the best for this artist,
427
00:33:30,608 --> 00:33:32,485
because I believe in
this artist.
428
00:33:32,569 --> 00:33:33,862
And as a husband,
429
00:33:33,903 --> 00:33:36,189
I want my wife to accomplish
everything she desires.
430
00:33:36,330 --> 00:33:39,541
I want my wife to accomplish
everything she desires.
431
00:33:41,313 --> 00:33:44,728
- Siudy's a great talent,
she's a hard worker.
432
00:33:45,084 --> 00:33:50,412
And when those two things
converge in one person,
433
00:33:50,447 --> 00:33:54,211
the result, you know it's
inside, you can't deny that.
434
00:33:54,513 --> 00:33:59,513
(upbeat music)
(singing in foreign language)
435
00:33:59,735 --> 00:34:01,562
(clapping)
436
00:34:32,921 --> 00:34:33,922
- Beautiful!
437
00:34:34,214 --> 00:34:35,215
- Bravo, bravo!
438
00:34:35,298 --> 00:34:36,299
Come here.
439
00:34:37,425 --> 00:34:39,219
You danced really well.
What’s your name?
440
00:34:39,452 --> 00:34:41,404
- Siudy.
- Siudy, how old are you?
441
00:34:41,582 --> 00:34:43,154
- Six.
- Six years old!
442
00:34:43,753 --> 00:34:46,336
(upbeat music)
443
00:34:51,530 --> 00:34:54,819
Siudy's dimension of success...
444
00:34:57,358 --> 00:34:58,697
is on the stage.
445
00:34:59,130 --> 00:35:02,530
For her, being ready,
dressing up,
446
00:35:02,530 --> 00:35:05,683
standing on the side of the
stage and going on stage,
447
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,924
that's it, it's super simple.
448
00:35:09,924 --> 00:35:12,591
(drums beating)
449
00:35:14,195 --> 00:35:17,341
(breathing heavily)
450
00:35:32,159 --> 00:35:33,159
- Gatorade?
451
00:35:33,550 --> 00:35:34,550
- Gatorade.
452
00:35:53,054 --> 00:35:54,218
- Thank you!
- You're welcome.
453
00:35:54,335 --> 00:35:55,335
(running)
454
00:35:56,780 --> 00:35:59,413
(fast drumming)
(feet tapping)
455
00:36:12,155 --> 00:36:14,959
(drumming)
456
00:36:22,223 --> 00:36:23,663
(final drum beats)
457
00:36:24,734 --> 00:36:27,901
(audience applauding)
458
00:36:33,282 --> 00:36:35,865
(upbeat music)
459
00:36:49,878 --> 00:36:53,610
- So in that theatre situation,
our bet is
460
00:36:53,610 --> 00:36:55,333
we gotta sustain
this until the moment
461
00:36:55,333 --> 00:36:58,540
that we can get reviewed
to see the behaviour
462
00:36:58,540 --> 00:37:02,130
of the box office
in terms of sales
463
00:37:02,130 --> 00:37:05,443
so that we can begin
floating on our own.
464
00:37:06,510 --> 00:37:10,587
You wanna open the show,
you have money to open it,
465
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,897
but you need to sell tickets
to sustain it.
466
00:37:15,627 --> 00:37:18,033
- But we were
dragging a lot of losses.
467
00:37:20,782 --> 00:37:22,270
We were the Titanic.
468
00:37:22,295 --> 00:37:24,411
- So when did you tell Siudy
469
00:37:24,453 --> 00:37:26,825
and the rest of
the dancers that...
470
00:37:27,956 --> 00:37:29,579
it was gonna
get closed early.
471
00:37:29,854 --> 00:37:32,486
(dramatic string music)
472
00:37:38,371 --> 00:37:39,651
(traffic noises)
473
00:37:40,871 --> 00:37:42,151
(street chatter)
474
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,070
- So,
this is our flash mob meeting.
475
00:37:54,070 --> 00:37:56,107
- This is our
flash mob meeting.
476
00:37:56,399 --> 00:37:58,303
We wanted to do a "flash mob"
to help sell tickets.
477
00:37:58,328 --> 00:38:01,921
To somehow reach potential
ticket buyers and the media
478
00:38:01,946 --> 00:38:03,787
through alternative means.
479
00:38:03,934 --> 00:38:06,184
- Someone at the
Times Square Alliance.
480
00:38:06,203 --> 00:38:09,318
So we gave them a call and said,
481
00:38:09,527 --> 00:38:12,770
"Just hypothetically
speaking, if there were to be
482
00:38:12,770 --> 00:38:14,280
a flash mob in Times Square,
483
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,713
would you guys wanna
know about it or not?"
484
00:38:16,755 --> 00:38:17,764
And they said, "Well...
485
00:38:21,171 --> 00:38:23,110
we would because we would
like to tell you what else
486
00:38:23,110 --> 00:38:24,350
was happening in Times Square
487
00:38:24,350 --> 00:38:26,820
so that you could avoid
bumping into another event."
488
00:38:27,388 --> 00:38:29,768
And it turns out
that on March 16th,
489
00:38:29,770 --> 00:38:33,440
there's a film shooting,
a major motion picture,
490
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,420
and they're recreating
New Year's Eve
491
00:38:36,420 --> 00:38:37,784
with the ball dropping,
492
00:38:37,784 --> 00:38:41,889
so there would be
thousands of extras there.
493
00:38:41,889 --> 00:38:43,530
- And that's when I
wander on at lunchtime
494
00:38:43,530 --> 00:38:44,533
and join the party.
495
00:38:44,654 --> 00:38:45,654
(laughing)
496
00:38:46,827 --> 00:38:49,061
Turns out the day
we’re doing the flash mob
497
00:38:49,388 --> 00:38:51,598
there is a film shoot
498
00:38:51,623 --> 00:38:54,542
and the scene is New Year’s Eve
499
00:38:54,743 --> 00:38:56,070
with the ball dropping and all.
500
00:38:56,086 --> 00:38:57,358
- Okay, we can't then.
501
00:38:57,504 --> 00:39:00,337
(people laughing)
502
00:39:01,540 --> 00:39:03,710
- Well, they said, "Also, if
you wanted to get a permit,
503
00:39:03,710 --> 00:39:05,340
it would cost $50,000."
504
00:39:06,975 --> 00:39:07,987
So they said-
505
00:39:08,012 --> 00:39:09,358
- Welcome to New York, kids.
506
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,943
- There wasn't $50,000
in existence anywhere.
507
00:39:12,968 --> 00:39:14,178
We did it without a permit.
508
00:39:14,605 --> 00:39:17,272
(drums beating)
509
00:39:22,503 --> 00:39:25,205
(dancers clapping)
510
00:39:32,493 --> 00:39:34,093
(dancers exclaiming)
511
00:39:36,344 --> 00:39:37,344
(exclaiming)
512
00:39:38,378 --> 00:39:40,422
(feet tapping)
513
00:39:41,416 --> 00:39:45,249
(singing in foreign language)
514
00:39:46,175 --> 00:39:48,175
(exclamations, crowd cheering)
515
00:39:50,430 --> 00:39:52,830
(percussions, feet tapping)
(singing)
516
00:39:59,827 --> 00:40:02,410
(upbeat music)
517
00:40:07,074 --> 00:40:11,077
(feet tapping, shouts)
(clapping, cheering)

- Short in resources
for publicity and promotion
523
00:40:42,748 --> 00:40:47,456
our bet was on a good review
from the press.
524
00:40:47,937 --> 00:40:50,520
(gentle music)
525
00:40:51,157 --> 00:40:56,220
- Clearly, opening night is when
all of the critics attend.
526
00:40:56,245 --> 00:41:00,821
We were anxiously awaiting
the New York Times review.
527
00:41:01,253 --> 00:41:02,674
The most important newspaper,
528
00:41:02,711 --> 00:41:05,306
with the most credibility
in New York.
529
00:41:05,798 --> 00:41:08,258
- Opening night, I'm happy.
530
00:41:08,704 --> 00:41:12,537
(singing in foreign language)
531
00:41:19,354 --> 00:41:24,281

00:42:10,248 --> 00:42:12,831
(upbeat music)
534
00:42:13,031 --> 00:42:16,260
(beatboxing, percussion)
535
00:42:36,908 --> 00:42:39,575
(drums beating)
536
00:42:49,859 --> 00:42:50,859
(roaring)
537
00:42:51,444 --> 00:42:53,044
(playful beatboxing)
538
00:42:53,982 --> 00:42:55,662
(laughter from audience)
539
00:42:58,661 --> 00:43:01,244
(feet tapping)
540
00:43:01,339 --> 00:43:03,081
(clapping)
541
00:43:07,335 --> 00:43:09,917
(feet tapping, clapping, drums)
542
00:43:56,150 --> 00:43:58,150
- We did it!
543
00:43:58,277 --> 00:43:59,528
They said that
544
00:43:59,654 --> 00:44:04,158
as the audience applauded the
dancers were brought to tears,
545
00:44:04,311 --> 00:44:05,688
because they said
546
00:44:06,435 --> 00:44:08,144
'It was a lifetime achievement'.
547
00:44:09,188 --> 00:44:12,636
And I think that one
performance was just that.
548
00:44:12,900 --> 00:44:15,104
It was a once in a lifetime
achievement.
549
00:44:15,292 --> 00:44:17,426
A life experience that no one
550
00:44:17,457 --> 00:44:18,979
will ever be able to
take away from us.
551
00:44:20,425 --> 00:44:23,592
(audience applauding)
552
00:44:25,874 --> 00:44:28,407
(uplifting music)
553
00:44:29,834 --> 00:44:31,296
(clapping)
554
00:44:33,298 --> 00:44:35,444
(vocalizing)
555
00:44:36,340 --> 00:44:39,211
The truth is that I had tears
in my eyes watching the show.
556
00:44:39,742 --> 00:44:42,489
- Beautiful, I really enjoyed.
557
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,859
- Beautiful show, beautiful.
558
00:44:47,062 --> 00:44:48,063
- Siudy what a talent...
559
00:44:48,088 --> 00:44:49,106
Darn!
560
00:44:49,245 --> 00:44:50,526
- Look who's talking.
561
00:44:51,220 --> 00:44:52,733
- Beautiful performance.
562
00:45:00,117 --> 00:45:02,700
(uplifting music continues)
563
00:45:04,515 --> 00:45:05,955
(Siudy air kisses)
564
00:45:10,124 --> 00:45:12,210
(uplifting music)
565
00:45:25,139 --> 00:45:26,939
(background street chatter)
566
00:45:34,110 --> 00:45:36,020
- Opening night, everybody
was on pins and needles
567
00:45:36,020 --> 00:45:39,304
until 11:00 PM when we
read the review online.
568
00:45:39,820 --> 00:45:41,240
Because of the way
the system works,
569
00:45:41,240 --> 00:45:43,960
the New York Times has an
enormous amount of power
570
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:45,860
in the theatre world.
571
00:45:45,860 --> 00:45:51,302
It's the very first and the
most important critic there is.
572
00:45:51,700 --> 00:45:54,373
We're in a very
critic driven industry.
573
00:45:57,385 --> 00:45:58,880
- It took me by surprise.
574
00:46:01,750 --> 00:46:06,167
You see the audiences so
charged up, so satisfied.
575
00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:08,727
You can't-
576
00:46:08,770 --> 00:46:10,589
I can't really explain, myself.
577
00:46:10,613 --> 00:46:12,340
I don't have an explanation to
578
00:46:13,490 --> 00:46:15,977
how can a review
like this come across.
579
00:46:47,933 --> 00:46:52,055
(melancholy music)
580
00:47:11,387 --> 00:47:16,061
- From the office they were
advising us to close the show,
581
00:47:16,159 --> 00:47:18,811
because there was nothing
we could do against
582
00:47:18,839 --> 00:47:21,357
The New York Times review
and the sales would plummet.
583
00:47:22,050 --> 00:47:25,434
We always had faith that if
we had gotten there,
584
00:47:25,459 --> 00:47:26,691
it was for a reason.
585
00:47:32,644 --> 00:47:35,678
(music swells)
586
00:47:36,648 --> 00:47:40,214
- We needed to be there
triple the time,
587
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:47,028
and we needed triple the budget
and publicity exposure
588
00:47:47,214 --> 00:47:49,396
in order to truly have a chance
589
00:47:49,420 --> 00:47:50,926
to recuperate the
money invested.
590
00:47:54,371 --> 00:47:56,238
(melancholy music continues)
591
00:48:11,597 --> 00:48:13,837
- We couldn't understand
how we could've...
592
00:48:14,186 --> 00:48:17,645
traveled...
almost 5,000 miles,
593
00:48:17,812 --> 00:48:19,843
from Caracas,
Venezuela to New York
594
00:48:20,304 --> 00:48:22,875
to have to close the
show immediately
595
00:48:22,900 --> 00:48:24,321
the day after opening.
596
00:48:24,363 --> 00:48:25,453
We didn't understand!
597
00:48:25,836 --> 00:48:29,506
To us it deserved a little more
work and a little more effort.
598
00:48:31,749 --> 00:48:34,332
(feet tapping)
599
00:48:46,925 --> 00:48:50,765
- In addition to the money
from our investors
600
00:48:50,805 --> 00:48:52,805
we used all of our savings.
601
00:48:53,100 --> 00:48:55,521
We were "all in"
in order to be there.
602
00:48:55,932 --> 00:48:59,537
So, to have to close
after opening night was...
603
00:48:59,562 --> 00:49:04,695
Wow... that was hard
for both of us.
604
00:49:05,190 --> 00:49:09,030
- From where we were in
sales before we started
605
00:49:09,030 --> 00:49:11,570
to where we were
right after the reviews,
606
00:49:11,570 --> 00:49:15,050
I knew that the show was not
gonna be a financial success.
607
00:49:15,050 --> 00:49:17,810
And that's a really hard
position for me to be in
608
00:49:17,810 --> 00:49:20,640
and to have to
tell a producer that
609
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,650
from a financial point of
view, you need to close up
610
00:49:23,675 --> 00:49:25,774
in order to...
611
00:49:28,251 --> 00:49:30,999
minimise the financial risk.
612
00:49:31,310 --> 00:49:32,680
He didn't take my advice.
613
00:49:33,188 --> 00:49:34,406
(laughs)
614
00:49:34,808 --> 00:49:36,528
He didn't take my advice.
615
00:49:36,860 --> 00:49:41,279
Which I applaud him for,
he believed in the show.
616
00:49:41,697 --> 00:49:44,280
(feet tapping)
617
00:49:56,911 --> 00:49:59,350
- Yes, the reviews are
really important,
618
00:49:59,496 --> 00:50:02,850
but they don’t justify an
immediate closure of a show.
619
00:50:02,875 --> 00:50:07,188
As long as the show finds the
audience that has an affinity
620
00:50:07,213 --> 00:50:08,717
it can be sustained.
621
00:50:08,733 --> 00:50:11,316
(upbeat music)
622
00:50:13,843 --> 00:50:17,676
(singing in foreign language)
623
00:50:22,786 --> 00:50:26,176
- Pablo wanted to keep
the show running
624
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,200
and did the possible
and the impossible.
625
00:50:28,895 --> 00:50:31,496
Found money
where there was none.
626
00:50:31,949 --> 00:50:35,854
- Once “Between Worlds”
hired a team
627
00:50:35,879 --> 00:50:38,981
specializing in Hispanic media
628
00:50:39,402 --> 00:50:42,848
the message about what
"Between Worlds" really was
629
00:50:42,873 --> 00:50:44,176
began to arrive.
630
00:50:45,768 --> 00:50:48,400
For the first time
a Venezuelan dance company
631
00:50:48,447 --> 00:50:50,814
enters the New York
musical theater scene,
632
00:50:50,839 --> 00:50:51,942
which is no easy task.
633
00:50:53,108 --> 00:50:55,746
- New York had never seen
anything like it.
634
00:50:55,771 --> 00:50:59,564
That is confirmed by the
"Drama Desk" nomination.
635
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:02,381
- The Drama Desk
is- next to the Tony Awards,
636
00:51:02,406 --> 00:51:06,310
the Drama Desk is the second
most important award in
637
00:51:06,310 --> 00:51:07,556
the New York theatre scene.
638
00:51:08,232 --> 00:51:12,845
The people who nominate for
the awards are not the critics.
639
00:51:13,460 --> 00:51:16,330
It's industry people
who saw the show
640
00:51:16,330 --> 00:51:19,704
and appreciated the
artistic achievement.
641
00:51:19,900 --> 00:51:21,840
- It means a lot,
it puts it on the map.
642
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,420
People who might not have
ever heard of the show
643
00:51:23,420 --> 00:51:25,276
suddenly notice it
because of a nomination.
644
00:51:25,844 --> 00:51:29,677
(singing in foreign language)
645
00:51:37,611 --> 00:51:38,862
It's packed!
646
00:51:39,683 --> 00:51:41,212
The house is packed...
647
00:51:42,366 --> 00:51:43,829
It is packed!
648
00:51:44,725 --> 00:51:47,558
(thunder booming)
649
00:51:48,044 --> 00:51:50,044
("One Day at a Time")
650
00:51:52,525 --> 00:51:54,220
- "Between
Worlds" - everybody had to
651
00:51:54,245 --> 00:51:55,340
rise to the occasion.
652
00:51:55,340 --> 00:51:59,166
And I think everybody did,
especially Siudy and Pablo.
653
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:04,440
They put everything on the line
654
00:52:04,500 --> 00:52:07,410
personally,
professionally, financially,
655
00:52:07,410 --> 00:52:08,913
and everybody knew it.
656
00:52:10,260 --> 00:52:12,392
(uplifting music)
657
00:52:14,140 --> 00:52:15,970
And I think
everybody really came,
658
00:52:15,970 --> 00:52:18,449
rallied around to
make it a success.
659
00:52:18,514 --> 00:52:22,716
- Every single opportunity that
I had to return to that stage
660
00:52:22,741 --> 00:52:24,309
I cherished the most,
661
00:52:24,978 --> 00:52:29,048
simply thankful for opportunity
to perform one more show.

(music fades)
(background airport hum)
678
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,637
- Financially the show
could not recuperate,
679
00:54:19,662 --> 00:54:24,754
because it was dragging
an accumulated loss.
680
00:54:27,055 --> 00:54:29,122
(indistinct background chatter)
681
00:54:32,619 --> 00:54:36,308
- I wanted to consult with you.
- Ok tell me about it.
682
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:39,547
- Look, I have jewelry that
belonged to my grandmother...
683
00:54:39,568 --> 00:54:40,614
- Aha...
684
00:54:40,623 --> 00:54:43,181
- And I would like to
have it appraised,
685
00:54:43,408 --> 00:54:45,633
to look into the possibility
of selling it.
686
00:54:46,013 --> 00:54:47,024
- Ok.
687
00:54:47,049 --> 00:54:49,235
- So maybe, you know someone
688
00:54:49,244 --> 00:54:53,713
who will give me
a realistic estimate.
689
00:54:54,266 --> 00:54:55,703
- Yeah, it's a lot of work.
690
00:54:55,703 --> 00:54:58,903
Very pale, very,
very good, old piece.
691
00:55:01,300 --> 00:55:04,031
Very nice piece, it doesn't
belong in the building.
692
00:55:04,054 --> 00:55:07,937
Again, if you want a second
opinion, go up and down.
693
00:55:10,098 --> 00:55:12,109
(street humdrum)
694
00:55:12,768 --> 00:55:15,258
(hum of car engine)
695
00:55:21,543 --> 00:55:23,640
- OK, so twelve times what?
25?
696
00:55:23,665 --> 00:55:27,328
My Holy Lord!
$300 bucks.
697
00:55:27,658 --> 00:55:28,871
(woman answering phone)
698
00:55:29,037 --> 00:55:30,055
- Plus Tax.
699
00:55:31,248 --> 00:55:34,043
- Then we spent six months
working on it
700
00:55:34,348 --> 00:55:37,240
until we were able to re-stage
the show in Miami.
701
00:55:37,265 --> 00:55:38,928
Our second home.
702
00:55:39,659 --> 00:55:41,367
- How much is that?
703
00:55:41,367 --> 00:55:44,820
- A roll of a 20 by
100 is 55 bucks.
704
00:55:46,710 --> 00:55:48,780
You don't have enough time,
really,
705
00:55:48,780 --> 00:55:51,380
to do what you
wanna do for the show.
706
00:55:51,380 --> 00:55:52,940
So let's just get
it looking good.
707
00:55:52,940 --> 00:55:54,890
It's not gonna be clear coated.
708
00:55:54,890 --> 00:55:56,960
It's only gonna be painted good.
709
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,110
And we'll get through
with the show, believe me.
710
00:55:59,110 --> 00:56:01,600
The floor is important,
but it's not the element.
711
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:03,970
You forget about
the floor after the first
712
00:56:03,986 --> 00:56:05,139
two minutes of dancing.
713
00:56:05,584 --> 00:56:08,577
(flamenco guitar, feet tapping)
714
00:56:08,615 --> 00:56:10,436
(clapping)
715
00:56:17,805 --> 00:56:22,055
(audience cheering
and applauding)
716
00:56:26,091 --> 00:56:29,775
(loud cheering and applauding)
717
00:56:37,661 --> 00:56:38,972
- And it was very successful
718
00:56:38,997 --> 00:56:40,820
and it was like the rebirth
of “Between Worlds”
719
00:56:41,235 --> 00:56:43,343
A success! We did three
Adrienne Arsht performances.
720
00:56:44,029 --> 00:56:45,672
Regardless of the situation,
721
00:56:45,697 --> 00:56:48,422
everyone pulled through.
The show ran
722
00:56:48,630 --> 00:56:51,758
and I wanted to congratulate
each one of you artists....
723
00:56:51,950 --> 00:56:52,996
- It is confirmed!
724
00:56:53,013 --> 00:56:56,025
We have been approved to play
at the "Teresa Carreño" Theater
725
00:56:56,041 --> 00:56:57,110
in Caracas.
726
00:56:57,804 --> 00:56:58,804
(cheering)
727
00:56:58,919 --> 00:57:01,643
- Then we had the opportunity
to bring it
728
00:57:01,668 --> 00:57:03,690
to the Teresa Carreño Theater
in Venezuela.
729
00:57:03,715 --> 00:57:04,749
Home!
730
00:57:04,966 --> 00:57:06,551
And came triumphantly.
731
00:57:07,052 --> 00:57:08,984
We returned as
the Venezuelan company,
732
00:57:09,009 --> 00:57:10,206
that succeeded
733
00:57:10,230 --> 00:57:12,057
in the Off Broadway
New York Theater scene.
734
00:57:12,266 --> 00:57:13,290
Because that's how it was.
735
00:57:13,656 --> 00:57:16,239
(upbeat music)
736
00:57:16,579 --> 00:57:18,288
Above all after New York,
for each one of us
737
00:57:18,313 --> 00:57:20,440
it was like an big impulse
738
00:57:20,454 --> 00:57:24,040
making us want to be
better and continue forward.
739
00:57:24,069 --> 00:57:28,815
And from that point forward
there was still more growth.
740
00:57:29,780 --> 00:57:33,041
(acoustic guitar playing)
741
00:57:43,460 --> 00:57:46,554
(guitar music continues)
742
00:57:59,816 --> 00:58:04,066
(audience cheering
and applauding)
743
00:58:27,421 --> 00:58:29,383
(cheering)
744
00:58:31,428 --> 00:58:32,948
(audience cheering)
745
00:58:32,977 --> 00:58:34,657
- And curtain, curtain!
746
00:58:36,321 --> 00:58:38,001
(cheering, celebrating)
747
00:58:38,883 --> 00:58:40,563
(guitar music continues)
748
00:58:51,044 --> 00:58:54,615
- Constantly we ask ourselves:
Was it really all worth it?
749
00:58:54,660 --> 00:58:56,451
Everything we did in New York?
750
00:58:56,744 --> 00:59:00,621
Then we try to imagine where
we would be, had we not done it?
751
00:59:02,401 --> 00:59:05,613
And we definitely
realize that we had to do it.
752
00:59:06,004 --> 00:59:07,615
We had to go through
that experience
753
00:59:07,639 --> 00:59:09,261
to become who we are today.
754
00:59:09,830 --> 00:59:12,413
(upbeat music)
755
00:59:21,117 --> 00:59:23,265
(upbeat pop music)
756
00:59:53,896 --> 00:59:55,887
(music intensifies)
757
01:00:00,013 --> 01:00:03,200
Sometimes we think success is
based out of achievements
758
01:00:03,225 --> 01:00:04,605
or in the recognition received.
759
01:00:05,519 --> 01:00:08,714
When in reality it is
in every stumble along the way,
760
01:00:09,151 --> 01:00:11,734
allowing us to stand up
and continue forward.
761
01:00:12,776 --> 01:00:14,800
True to our real essence.
762
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:18,480
Closer each time to whom
we truly dream to become.
763
01:00:19,203 --> 01:00:21,759
Enjoying every detail
life offers,
764
01:00:22,195 --> 01:00:24,353
because the journey
is just beginning.
765
01:00:28,787 --> 01:00:31,200
(upbeat music)
766
01:01:32,063 --> 01:01:36,113
- I don't know, sometimes...
We are shop windows
767
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,425
and if you are display yourself
in a display case
768
01:01:38,448 --> 01:01:39,542
you can be condemned.
769
01:01:39,754 --> 01:01:41,964
We have no choice but to
accept the condemnation.
770
01:01:42,470 --> 01:01:45,097
We can agree or
disagree with it,
771
01:01:45,122 --> 01:01:47,307
but if there is no next step
772
01:01:49,748 --> 01:01:52,421
or no risk or an adventure
to move forward,
773
01:01:52,434 --> 01:01:54,914
Then Flamenco has its
days counted and would die.
774
01:01:54,956 --> 01:01:56,710
Because those things
that aren't mixed
775
01:01:56,755 --> 01:02:01,555
or nurtured with other
things end up dying isolated.
