Carmen Amaya as an inspiration

Un cuerpo infinito will be premiered in Madrid in May and will be presented in Granada with the special energy of the dancer and choreographer who received the National Dance Award last year. Olga Pericet claims not have designed this piece as a homage to Carmen Amaya, although she has taken the great flamenco dancer as an inspiration for the show. Together with guest choreographers Estévez and Paños, Pericet has carried out an intense research on the mythic artist whom she even feels to “know personally”. “She is present on stage, because there are moments it seems she is in my shoes, although I do not intend at all to accommodate my movement to her way of dancing. I have avoided from the beginning any hint of imitation”.
