2 Carmen Cortés has created a flamenco show with literary roots like the majority of her productions, which have been inspired by poetry and literary narrative. She strives to find that impulse that emerges from her interior to express her most profound flamenco emotion. dreams chase after human existence. Dance and flamenco have chased me since I was a child, and when you think your dreams have finally come true, reality interjects, and you see that we are only masters of the void, as Luis García Montero would say. Between steps and voices we become the echo of a naked search, we become the echo of demons or we search for magic, el duende. Carmen Cortés

7 CARMEN CORTÉS Carmen Cortés, born in Barcelona, is currently one of the most prestigious artists in the Spanish dance scene, especially in reference to XXI century flamenco dance. She defines herself primarily as a flamenco dancer, but she participates in other forms of creation within dance and theatre through a continuous pursuit of reinvention and a meeting of flamenco and other manners of understanding dance. Her style of dance is ferociously independent and always in search of innovation. Her dancing is elegant and sober, strong and fragile, delicately fierce and very personal with the utmost dedication and complete surrender. With 27 productions under her belt, she has collaborated with some of the most important directors in Spain: Gerardo Vera (La Celestina and Salome), Nuria Espert (Yerma), Francisco Suarez (Falla s El amor brujo), Fernando Bernués (Lorca s Women), and has danced the works of writers such as Lorca, José Bergamín, Vicente Alexandre, Rafael Alberti and Oscar Wilde.
