Bailar al gallo: música y danza para la generación del 27

New flamenco production starring Olga Pericet and Marco Flores, which brings to the stage the dialogue between tradition and the avant-garde of the Generation of '27 through music and dance.

This flamenco proposal takes the Generation of '27 as its starting point and its determination to combine the inherited with the new. The show presents a Spain poised between two eras: ancient cante and traditional forms coexist with the search for distinct sonic and bodily languages. Music and dance serve to immerse the audience in a period when creators from several disciplines sought to transform Spanish culture and bring the popular closer to contemporary currents.

Olga Pericet is a bailaora and choreographer from Córdoba, a reference point of modern flamenco, with a career focused on exploring the flamenco language and renewing it. In 2018 she received the Premio Nacional de Danza in its performance category. Marco Flores, also from Córdoba, is a bailaor, choreographer and director; his work combines tradition and contemporary creation, both alone and alongside other leading figures of flamenco. In 2012 he received the Premio Nacional de Flamenco awarded by the Cátedra de Flamencología de Jerez.

The production is staged at the Teatro de la Zarzuela, a venue whose programming centres on opera and which also hosts concerts.
