Olga PericetLa Leona

Olga Pericet is one of the most versatile flamenco bailaoras performing today. Her work spans traditional flamenco through to contemporary and Spanish classical dance.Olga Pericet, winner of Spain’s National Dance Prize 2018, returns to the Flamenco Festival with a new solo, stripping herself physically and spiritually for an intimate experience with the audience. In La Leona, Pericet’s free interpretation combines theatre and dance in a poetic and surreal world filled with imagery that evoke Westerns, wakes and the stars. The title refers to both the lioness, the animal, and Antonio De Torres’ iconic guitar. Considered the most important guitar maker of the 19th century De Torres’ model La Leona, inspired the modern classical guitar as it is known today.Part of Flamenco Festival
