The 1st Saetas National Contest "Ciudad del Sol" will be held on April 16 and 17, Holy Tuesday and Holy Wednesday, respectively.
On Holy Tuesday the local contestants will perform, the arrows being directed to the Most Holy Christ of the Blood of the Incarnate Pass.
Each contestant will sing from a balcony or at the foot of the street and along the course of the encounter, a free-form bolt (martinete, toná, jailer, ...).
The jury will assess their performances and decide the finalists.
On Holy Wednesday will be the turn of the contestants who reside outside the municipality of Lorca.
The same rules will apply as those set out for Holy Tuesday, with the proviso that, on this day, the arrows will be dedicated to the Most Holy Christ of Forgiveness, holder of the Paso Morado.
The contestants will make their interpretations along the route of the descent of the Christ of Mercy that will start at 23:00 on Calvary until you reach the Church of Carmen.
The jury will assess all the actions and decide which ones go to the final.
The final phase will also take place on Holy Wednesday at the door of the Parroquia del Carmen, once the procession has finished.
The finalist singers of both days will participate in it.
Each contestant must interpret a bolt for "seguiriyas" with a different letter to the one interpreted in the previous phase and dedicated to a different image but linked to the Holy Week of Lorca (Our Lady of Sorrows, Our Lady of Bitterness, Christ of the Good Death , Virgin of the Solitude, Christ of the Rescue, ...).
The jury will take into account in its score the flamenco depth, the purity of the cantes, the knowledge of the contestants in the performance, the literary quality, the relevance in the allusion to the image that is dedicated and the emotionality that they transmit.
