Milano Flamenco Festival, the most important Italian festival on the culture of Flamenco celebrates its first ten years with an extraordinary three days of international events. The special 2017 edition retraces the milestones in the history of the Festival: three guest companies from the first editions, which have in the since then reached the heights of the international scene, will be staging their new productions. The Manuel Liñán Company presents Reversible, the Olga Pericet Company is staging La espina que quiso ser flor o la flor che quiso ser bailaora, and the Rocio Molina Company presents Caida del cielo!
More than ever, with the show La espina que quiso ser flor o la flor che quiso ser bailaora, Olga Pericet finds a way to show her deepest-rooted inner self. A personal journey in which the strength of her dance pulls us into the most hidden corners of the soul, among scars filled with kisses and memories. Olga Pericet’s flamenco pulses between opposites, its obscurity relaxes, its beauty is disturbing. Feminine and masculine blend together and consume each other. A gallery of dramatic games in which the woman is always strong and determined in a mix of sculptural images and transformations, with shifts between the beautiful and the ugly, between joy and bitterness, solitude and lasciviousness, youth and decrepitude. The music is a splendid frame for the pure creativity of song, rhythm and flamenco styles.
