In a video released by the Music to wake up organization in Granada (Spain), the woman, who died a year ago, slowly raises her arms and little by little remembers not only her movements, but those of all her companions on stage.
The intense and exciting images of Marta Cinta have been seen by millions of people in a few days.
"It excites me," says the woman at the end of the music.
"And you excite us," says one of the organization's facilitators.
"You have to take the tips," says the woman happily at the end of the video.
The fragments shared on the association's social networks are part of a longer session in which, thanks to music, Alzheimer's patients recover some of their memories thanks to their favorite music: "The music of their lives and love, to live with Alzheimer's. The last thing that is lost ", they explain from the social networks of Music to wake up.
The video of Marta C. González, known in the stage as Marta Cinta, has generated much curiosity about the artist's life and her time at the New York ballet company in 1966. Sadly, the association does not know more details about the dancer's past.
