Who, following the first moments of this bullfight of the holidays, might have, on the bleachers of the arenas, predicted a luminous finale and an atmosphere of the great days under the sun of Lunel? No one, no doubt. But that’s the charm of bullfighting and that, more generally, of performing arts.
After a first fight by Léa Vicens once morest a toro in front of whom she only managed to express her technique during the pursuits, the rejoneadora from Nîmes, later, and opposed to another toro from Gallon, of remarkable mobility, displayed her mastery with banderillas, long or short and wrote, on his astonishing horses, sequences of a beautiful dynamic. A duo of excellent level, with unfortunately a perpendicular death rejon but which, in the end, saw two ears coming to reward the performance.

With Sébastien Castella, the aficionados found in Lunel the maestro in total possession of his means. After a first fight with an irregular physiognomy because of the unpredictable behavior of his adversary, distracted, and a questionable combativeness, he then delivered the expected lesson. Opened by five masterful statuaries, the orchestrated faena in front of the fifth toro of Garcigrande, with however sometimes limited charges, and with reduced forces, revealed the personality, the style and the proximity toreo which are the signature of the Biterrois.

And along came Alejandro Talavante. Initially facing a weak adversary, he nevertheless offered tasteful images and choice gestures, in a flowery repertoire. But the best was for the last act of the bullfight.

In front of the toro colorado that the draw reserved for him, and that he welcomed on his knees for the first vibrant scenes, Talavante, seeing the qualities of nobility of the animal, following the only encounter with the picadors, pulled out all the stops Silky and slow naturals, harmonious derechazos, inspired sequences and full artistic demonstration on the menu. With, at the end, the grace staged and obtained from a toro de Garcigrande, a true partner in beautiful lyrical flights.
