📖 Pastora Imperio's legacy through a contemporary lens

Following Après vous, Madame, dedicated to Antonia Mercé "La Argentina", this performance delves into the iconic figure of Pastora Imperio. The piece draws upon early 20th-century flamenco resonances, translating them into an innovative, modern choreographic vocabulary.

Rather than offering a traditional historical reconstruction, Comitre activates the past in the present. Flamenco tradition is treated as a living, transforming material, using the body, movement, and stagecraft to establish a dynamic exchange between memory and contemporary creation.

🎭 Artistic crossroads and avant-garde heritage

The work honors the trailblazing women essential to Spanish dance and flamenco, creators who forged strong ties with avant-garde movements and visual arts. This production embraces interdisciplinary connections typical of the Silver Age, setting the stage for the final piece of the trilogy.

✨ An exceptional world premiere bridging flamenco heritage and contemporary stage innovation in Madrid.
