Mar铆a Pag茅s: An Ode to Flamenco
Spanish choreographer Maria Pages prepares to take an innovative new show to the traditional home of flamenco, Seville.
A film that transports us to Spain and the mesmerising work of flamenco star Mar铆a Pag茅s. Mar铆a鈥檚 passion for flamenco is infectious. A child prodigy, she came of age in the golden era of professional flamenco and is now passing her inspiration and experience on to the next generation as she promotes modern flamenco at her new dance centre in a working-class suburb of Madrid.
The film explores the tension in Mar铆a鈥檚 work between flamenco鈥檚 traditional roots in the streets of her birthplace of Seville and her theatrical shows, performances that push the boundaries of the dance style and tell bigger stories. The film culminates in a searing homecoming performance of a haunting new work for 2020 called Una Oda al Tiempo (An Ode to Time) back in flamenco鈥檚 heartland, Seville.
