Coro de estancias x Ana Almagro

Contemporary flamenco piece by Ana Almagro in which a choir and flamenco cante meet on the stage of Teatros del Canal, in Madrid.

Ana Almagro presents a contemporary flamenco choreographic piece that continues her earlier work, Ana Almagro x ELAMOR, and keeps the link between movement, sound and the flamenco code as the basis of her stage language. The production brings a choral ensemble into dialogue with flamenco cante, so that the two forms are combined on stage. The themes it explores are memory, the blurred line between dream and wakefulness, and the collective imagination, and how the intimate and the shared intertwine in human experience.

On the musical side, the Coro Ars Vocem takes part, conducted by Isaac Diego García, alongside the cante and flamenco direction of José Luis Hernández. Tacha González is on palmas (handclaps) and Irene Blanco is on voice.

Ana Almagro holds a qualification in Spanish dance from the Pepa Flores conservatoire in Málaga, and later trained at the Centro Andaluz de Danza in Seville. She has danced with the companies of José Antonio Ruiz and María Pagés, and with the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía, directed by Úrsula Lopez. She is currently a dancer with the Ballet Nacional de España, a role she combines with her own creations.
