DeNada Dance Theatre, Ham and Passion, review: Sex, swagger, nostalgia... and a leg of ham

Choreographer Carlos Pons Guerra may be early in his career, but he's arrived with a fully formed sense of artistic identity. His Spanish heritage, steeped in Catholicism, cured ham and songs of the 1950s, collides with explorations of sexuality, gender and copious carnal pleasure. It's a hugely atmospheric recipe.

In Passionaria we meet a drag queen brandishing blonde wig and bloody knife, at once dreamy, deluded and dangerous. Young Man! is a clever take on the Roland Petit ballet Le Jeune Homme et la Mort, this time starring two tomboyish young women: one restless with the tension and boredom of youthful sexual frustration; the other full of macho swagger, seductive glare and a very suggestive way with a chorizo sausage.

O Maria finds a smugly pious Virgin Mary (played by a man), like one of those kitsch religious holograms come to life, who pacifies a dysfunctional, bondage-heavy marriage.

It's a triple bill that's audacious, funny, nostalgic yet thoroughly up to date with modern sexual politics. The small cast is strong, but the real star is a leg of jamon that features in all three pieces, flaunting its shapely trotter, a motif that puts meat, sex, desire, domesticity and sharp knives all centre stage.
