ALENTO de Cía. Antonio Najarro

Following the huge success achieved in 2024 at the Teatro Chapí with Querencia, Antonio Najarro (Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts 2023), one of the most admired and influential figures in contemporary Spanish dance, returns. Dancer, choreographer and director of his own company for 10 years, he has also been director of the Ballet Nacional de España between 2011 and 2019.

Najarro has developed a brilliant international career bringing Spanish dance to some of the most important stages in the world from an elegant, modern and deeply personal perspective.

ALENTO unites all the styles of Spanish Dance with innovative talent, international and plural approach, with a window to the world through live music, composed especially for the show by the prestigious composer Fernando Egozcue, evoking reminiscences of tango and jazz in a rhythmic and deeply melodic score. A creation full of sensitivity and nuances, where the musical root and the search for new sounds and cadences coexist. The designers Oteyza, Víctor Muro and Najarro himself were in charge of the costumes. The show is an undisputed reflection of Antonio Najarro's creative capacity, as well as his innovative version of Spanish Dance (Flamenco, Bolero School, Folklore and Stylized Dance), composed of 15 dancers and 5 live musicians.
