As an iconoclast, auto didactic, ground-breaking woman her dance is like a metaphor of the rebellion with an electrifying rhythm and ethic. She was ahead of her time even with her wardrobe.
Carmen Amaya is an indefinite model from an academic point of view. The show offers three versions of her varied aesthetic profile. Versions in charge of prestigious young dancers: Karime Amaya (Carmen Amaya's grand-niece), Belén López, Mercedes de Córdoba, Susana Casas and Sara Barrero (check dates).
