Festival Flamenco Alburquerque 36: Patricia Guerrero y Compañía: Deliranza

8:00 pm

Sponsored by TourSpain

Festival Flamenco Alburquerque 36 presents Patricia Guerrero y Compañía in Deliranza. Winner of the 2021 Spanish National Dance Prize, the prodigious young dancer and her company immerse audiences into a performance of a thousand dreamlike adventures.

In Deliranza, Guerrero sets a work in a time conducive to creation and reverie: rehearsal time, where the creator, exhausted by the hours of work, rests and, like Alice, falls into a dream that makes her cross the limits of the everyday world. She breaks with logic enters into new, transformative worlds. As she descends into dreams, she encounters characters and obstacles, but above all the sounds of flamenco, the Soleá, the voice of a Granaína/Bulería or a Mariana… inviting the viewer to imagine and explore the sometimes lonely but gorgeous and dreamlike process of creation.
