Paying tribute to the women of flamenco, featuring dancers Natalia, and special guest Cathy Sandoval. Both leaders of their own respective flamenco companies, this special show brings them together alongside singer Monica Garcia & guitarist Adrian Sola.

A musical show featuring two dancers, a singer, and a guitarist pays tribute to the women of flamenco and delves into the world of cabaret, singing cafés, and exhibitionism from a contemporary perspective. The show references iconic figures of flamenco and copla, including Lola Flores, Miguel de Molina, and Dolores Vargas "La Terremoto".

Exploring the roots of flamenco and flamenco singing while also challenging them, this performance offers a unique approach by engaging the audience and delving into the musical imagination of flamenco. It draws inspiration from the women who have contributed to this art form throughout history, and the challenges they have faced, creating a rich and captivating tapestry of personalities and styles.

Cathy Sandoval

She has performed on important stages in Chile, Spain, Canada and Argentina, sharing the stage with great figures.

Natalia García-Huidobro
Chilean Choreographer and dancer based in Spain with training in Mexico, Spain and UK. Through her creations, Natalia has developed a very personal line of contemporary flamenco facing the tradition and opening the structures of this language in collaboration with artists from different disciplines. This has allowed her to feed La Típica (the company that she has led since 2000) with new forms of flamenco. Some of her main works as artistic director are El Arrebato, Our prayer, La Extranjera, Memorias del viento, Acuérdate de mí…Lola, Silencio and A ras de Tierra.

As a performer, Natalia has collaborated with various visual artists and outstanding artists and musicians. Her latest collaboration with director Lemi Ponifasio "Love to Death" stands out and it's been very remarkable in the festivals they have been to.
