Choreography and dance performance Andrés Marín

Between tradition and avant-garde, Andrés Marín echoes Llorenç Barber's bells, a veritable dialogue between flamenco and contemporary experimental music. Andrés' dance resonates and calls back memories; the bells ring and transport us through history on a contemporary sound. With flamenco that bares its soul and music heavy with symbolism, this piece is an encounter which, beyond the musical perspective provided by the bells, brings a real aesthetic dimension to a new flamenco scene which comes straight from the dancer's guts.

En janvier 2002, il crée sa première compagnie et présente le spectacle Mas alla del tiempo. En 2004, il présente son deuxième travail de compagnie, Asimetrias. En octobre 2006, il lance El Alba del Ultimo Dia, à la Biennale de Séville. L’été suivant, il crée, sous la direction de Blanca Li, le rôle de Federico Garcia Lorca, dans Poeta en Nueva York.
