14 October 2026 de 20h30 à 21h50
A leading figure in contemporary flamenco, Mercedes Ruiz takes us to the heart of the Andalusian soul with *Romancero de la danse flamenca*, a production that is as powerful as it is sensitive.
Through a series of scenes inspired by the romancero—those Spanish folk songs and poems—the choreographer weaves a vibrant dialogue between tradition and modernity. Every gesture, every stomp, every silence tells a story, carried by the intensity of the body and the depth of the music.
On stage, dance becomes a universal language: it expresses passions, sorrows, and the yearning for freedom. Balancing strength and delicacy, Mercedes Ruiz delivers a deeply felt performance in which flamenco becomes both a living memory and pure emotion.
A dazzling show that celebrates the full richness and beauty of this ancient art form.
Honored with flamenco’s highest accolades—the Giraldillo Award at the Seville Biennial, the Critics’ and Audience Awards at the Jerez Festival, and the Antonio Gades National Flamenco Art Award in Córdoba—Mercedes Ruiz has established herself as one of the leading figures of her generation.
