“Dalton revolved,” by Alex Jablonsky, tells the trajectory of a species in extinction through the genealogy of Chileans, based in Catalonia, who amazed his audience
The Tent revolvedthus in Catalan, without an end, it is installed in Sant Pere de Ribes, San Pedro de Ribas, five minutes from Sitges. It has 1000 seats, and 400 in an annex space, where circus arts are represented and taught and recitals of all kinds are offered. In charge is Isaac Domínguezlast representative of the Dalton. There near Olivella lives the eldest, Luis Daltonwhen you are not working on high seas cruises. His is entertaining passengers with simple things, such as standing up on a bottle and once in a very vertical position to juggle, we already said, simple things. He has been doing them since childhood.
Dalton It is the artistic name. Valenzuela It is the real. The first Valenzuela They arrived from Chile back in the centenary year. Some women in the family were Ec.eres del Circo de Frank Brown And they also worked with the Sainetista Alberto Vacarezza. Others added, like a 15 -year -old girl who escaped from the Nuns school to get a circus dancer, little married one of the balancers. Another became known in cinemas, when the era of “living number.” And another generation is already called Daltonwas hired by the prestigious Shangri-la and from there it left the world, four brothers working together or separated: Greece, Japan, Congo (“40 degrees outside and 60 under the canvas”), with occasional returns to Lanús, where there were The father was, that when he could no longer dance on the tightrope he went to work as a clown.
Terrible figure that of the father, who taught his children with the old didactic method of the clean dike and the bed without eating. The narrators of this story, the brothers Luis, Marcela, Cristina and Mónica Daltonthey are grateful to have learned since childhood juggling, jump, acrobatics, contortionism (“children are flexible,” says one) but do not forget the fear they had. From the blows only a sister who had heart problems was saved. Of the falls and contours one has “eight hooks in the column.” Quiet was dedicated to driving lovers, as Tina did when big. Now family girls turn on juggling with dishes and rods, but only as a game. Nobody hits them or demands.
These anecdotes and reflections, and many more, come and go throughout the documentary “Dalton revolved”of Alex Jablonskyinteresting record of very unique stories, characters and abilities, which is added to two other good rescue titles: “Cirquera”of Andrés Habegger and Diana Rutkuswhich tells the life of the latter, and “The last pirouette”of Gabriel Rosasingenious and emotional portrait of a 94 -year -old Movediza, Salome CarpenzanOr, that he knew how to work in the Creole circus and kept fresh in his memory the verses of the works with which the shows then culminated. Of having seen it, Fellini, Favio and Birri They would have loved her. But they left before. It doesn’t matter, she, in December, fulfilled 100, surely thinks how it promises Luis Dalton: “When I leave, I put everything in the drawer and keep doing the show on the other side.”
