Andrés Marín
Jardín Impuro

Festival Flamenco Alburquerque 36 presents Andrés Marín y Compañía in Jardín Impuro.

Jardín Impuro is a window into the personal universe of Andrés Marín. Winner of the 2022 Spanish National Dance Prize, the iconoclastic dancer and choreographer offers us his art as an act of freedom, giving himself fully to the moment, the place, the other.

A restless and passionate dancer, eschewing any kind of certainty, Marín is profoundly radical in the truest sense of the word: a rooted dancer. He neither breaks from tradition for its own sake, nor clings to it out of meaningless consecration: he has chosen a narrow path which has led him to explore his own reading of flamenco, free of censorship, visionary, and thrilling.

Patricia Guerrero y Compañía
Deliranza

Patricia Guerrero, winner of the  2021 Spanish Ministry of Culture’s National Dance Award, got her first taste of flamenco dancing at home, at the age of three. She was born in Granada, in the Albaycín neighborhood, in 1990. Her flamenco roots run deep and she attended her mother’s academy.

“Flamenco is a language that feels like my own mother tongue. I want to live dance with all my inner freedom. I just want to keep being me, and never betray who I am,” she says.

In 2011 Patricia Guerrero was named prima ballerina of the Andalusian Flamenco Ballet, directed by Rubén Olmo. In November 2017 she performed Don Quixote in the Chillot National Theatre (Paris), alongside Andrés Marín’s company. Deliranza is an ambitious dance production with an innovative take on flamenco, built on a combination of the classic Spanish art style and a surreal narrative tone.
