Production Details / Press Releases

Flamenco is as old as it is lively, and its power always derives from the same basic rhythm: 123 123 12 12 12. In its interaction with the audience it weaves a complex web of expression, significance and narrative – a special blend of ritual and techniques that are always growing and developing. In duet with Katie Vickers, the dancer and choreographer Albert Quesada analyses Flamenco, examining every aspect of its unique magic, and allowing the audience to come up close to the intense work of dance.

Albert Quesada trained at the Hogeschule voor de Kunsten in Amsterdam and at P.A.R.T.S in Brussels. Before that he studied philosophy and multimedia engineering in Barcelona. Central to Quesada’s work is the discovery and translation of musical structures into choreography. He is also fascinated by group movements and dynamics. In 2005 he began to work on “Solo on Bach & Glenn”, a piece that subsequently grew and toured, and from which the duet “Solos Bach & Gould” emerged. Since 2009 he has also danced with ZOO – Thomas Hauert. Together with Marcus Baldemar, Federica Porello, Mireia de Querol and Zoltán Vakulya he founded the company ACME, which creates artistic projects for education and the stage. In 2019 Quesada choreographed his first big group piece, “Flamingos”, at Mercat de les Flors, Barcelona.
