Premio Nacional de Danza winner Olga Pericet gives a one-night-only performance of her evening-length work, La Leona (March 15). Accompanied by Jose Manuel León (guitar), Alfredo Mesa (guitar), Juanfe Pérez(bass), Roberto Jaén (percussion), and singer Israel Moro, Pericet embodies both meanings of La Leona—the lioness and the flamenco guitar of Antonio de Torres—with a witty, avant-garde deconstruction and celebration of traditional flamenco music and choreography. https://www.flamencofestival.org/en/en-gira/la-leona-2/

‘A diminutive figure with a towering presence, her fierce energy caged within a steely technique’ – THE GUARDIAN

La Leona means both the lioness and the flamenco guitar of Antonio De Torres. This avante garde solo puts Pericet in the spotlight – stripping herself physically and spiritually in a unique and intimate experience with the audience.

Combining theatre and dance, Pericet has created a world for her latest work that is as poetic and surreal as its title, filled with imagery that evoke Westerns, wakes and the stars themselves. Winner of the Spain National Dance Prize 2018, Olga Pericet is a roaring revolutionary of recent times.
