National Institute of Flamenco and the NHCC present Festival Flamenco Alburquerque: David Coria y compañía: “Los Bailes Robados.” Set in a forest that shifts between chaos and sublime beauty—a place of broken bodies and starry skies—Los Bailes Robados invites you to enter, feel the earth, and tread fallen leaves with dancing steps. It beckons you to become a dancing being, moving endlessly with freedom, embracing the dance as a gift.
This ensemble creation blends political critique with social advocacy. Dancers traverse the stage in a journey from hysteria and uncontrolled frenzy to dramatic stillness and harmony, embodying a collective soul that births a new, fluid entity. The musicians amplify these cries, urging the bodies to exorcise their dance, denounce oppression, and invoke liberty—crying out for the woman, the mad, the different, the witch.
Infused with Spanish dance, flamenco, and avant-garde spontaneity, the work questions societal norms and codes over time. Using choreography, theater, imagery, music, and sound, it explores the depth of contemporary flamenco’s artistic potential in the 21st century.
