We have spoken with Pol Vaquero, one of the dancers who performed for the couple
It was no secret that Tim Burton is in love with our country but now we know that he is also a true flamenco fan. In his recent visit to one of the temples of this art in Madrid, the Tablao de la Villa, he demonstrated this when he enthusiastically enjoyed the show, accompanied by Monica Bellucci, the Italian actress and muse, to the surprise of the artists who performed that night in front of him. of the new cinema couple and a good number of tourists.
We have been able to speak with one of them, Pol Vaquero, a 'dancer' from Córdoba who has worked since he was 16 in Antonio Canales' company and who tells us that this is not the first time that he has met the filmmaker. “We have had several nights of wonderful flamenco gatherings. “He is an artist who likes to get closer to other artists.”
This versatile 'dancer' who has participated in the video clip of Corazón Partío by Alejandro Sanz and paraded at the Pasarela Cibeles with the couturier Francis Montesinos, highlights the closeness and respect that Burton has for the flamenco masters and the show: “It is capable of making us a sketch, a drawing, while we dance and sing; with astonishing speed and without losing any detail of the performance,” he tells us. He is convinced that it will not be the last time that he experiences a “fun night full of emotions” with the creator of Scissorhands and the icon of Italian beauty.
The love story of Burton and Bellucci began last October when they both met at the 14th edition of the Lumiere Festival, held in the French city of Lyon. The director of the acclaimed series Wednesday received an award and the film diva had the honor of presenting it to him. The French magazine Paris Match described their love affair as "love at first sight", a crush that occurred during the French film competition and judging by the photographs shared by HELLO!, that is where the spark arose.
Both had agreed on last at the Cannes Festival in 2006, but they barely met. At that time the two were romantically linked to their respective partners - she was married to Vincent Cassel, with whom she has two daughters, and he was married to Helena Bonham Carter, mother of her two sons-.
For four months they have tried to carry out their relationship with the utmost discretion, however, Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton seem determined to stop hiding their love. First in Paris and now in Madrid, a city where you can visit the exhibition “Tim Burton, the Labyrinth” until April 9, an immersive experience that delves into the director's amazing universe. Original works, sensory experiences and recreations of his characters and films make up this labyrinth where each room transports you to a different world and where each visitor takes their own route.
