Impressions from Seville

Impressions from Seville

What happens when body and mind are looking for order and balance, but find well-being in chaos? Is stability a utopian dream or a tangible thing? And do we actually need instability to survive? These are the questions flamenco dance maker Ana Morales asks herself in ‘En la Cuerda Floja | On the Tightrope’. Surrounded by Spanish top musicians from flamenco and jazz, she explores the (flamenco) floor beneath her feet in a highly personal manner. With contemporary movements, Ana Morales creates a personal and modern new flamenco dance, searching for new forms and exploring her own inner world at the same time. Anchored in tradition, she dances and balances on the tightrope, full of conviction, in these uncertain times. Her message: together we will find a new equilibrium.
