Spanish Dance and a Flamenco Tribute

The Ballet Nacional de España presents a program designed by its director Rubén Olmo, in two performances where they show three of the forms integrated into Spanish dance. It begins with Invocación Bolera and all the virtuosity of our classical dance, created by the composer Manuel Busto and de Olmo, with castanets staging from the recent Gold Medal for Fine Arts, Maribel Gallardo. It is followed by Jauleña, a solo performance by the director of the company that follows his choreographic style packed with contemporary expressive forms in conjunction with the most native twists and turns. Eterna Iberia dresses in dusty tones to offer the stylized dance choreographed by Antonio Najarro, in this version of Celtiberia (dance suite), by the Murcian composer Manuel Moreno-Buendía. And with De lo flamenco (Homage to Mario Maya), the stage receives the most heartfelt arm movements, tap dancing and rebuffs of the jondo to honour the memory of the great master and also to commemorate the centenary of the First Cante Jondo Flamenco Contest in Granada, to which part of the programm of this year’s Festival is dedicated.
