ANA MORALES WON THE 2022 NATIONAL DANCE PERFORMANCE AWARD

En la cuerda floja aims at delving into our frames of mind and proposes using imbalance as a necessary ingredient to advance in life.  With Morales’ overwhelming force, broken contemporary flamenco reflects extremely well this constant, often subconscious search for balance and imbalance, this departure from our state of comfort in search of something new. Fracture is the perfect word to define the sensation we feel when we see her perform. A potent fracture that transmits introspection and which she succeeds in revealing through her dancing.

The dancer Ana Morales (Barcelona, 1982), one of the foremost representatives of the generation of artists that have come to revolutionise present-day flamenco, fills the stage with her ample movements. Trained in contemporary and  flamenco dance, all of her creations aim to transmit a choreography that reflects her present emotional state. “Intensity, elegance, sensuality” are the words used by Didier Deschamps, director of the Thêátre Chaillot in París, her work, for which she has won different prizes, including the Desplante Award at the 2009 Cante de las Minas International Festival, the 2016 Teatro Andaluz Lorca Award, the 2018 Seville Biennial Giraldillo for Dance, and the 2019 Lorca Award for Best Choreography, Best Female Flamenco Dance Performer and Best Flamenco Show.
