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.
