María Pagés is one of Spain’s leading flamenco virtuosos and the recipient of her country’s highest honor, the National Dance Award. In her latest work, Flamenco y Poesía, she translates the cadences of poetry into dance, revealing a shared language between the words of José Saramago and Federico Garcia de Lorca and the rhythms of the human body. Performed by her company of nine extraordinary dancers and musicians, Flamenco y Poesía continues Pagés innovative journey into the depths of flamenco and beyond. 

“An artist of passionate force” - El Periódico de Catalunya

“María Pagés’s flamenco pulls tradition forward into her own ample creative territory using large doses of sensuality…She danced wrapped and tangled with her own body, broken into angles or filling up the vertical space that goes up to the sky; pulling us along with her and scorching us.” – El Mundo

“One of the most exceptional voices of flamenco dance…” – ABC
