BIO
The dancer and bailaora Ana Morales (Barcelona, 1982) fills the stage with her movements of ample forms, already converted into one of the maximum representatives of that generation of artists that has come to revolutionize the current flamenco. "Intensity, elegance, sensuality", with these words Didier Deschamps, director of the Thêátre Chaillot in Paris, described Morales' work.
Technique, stage presence and knowledge of the art of dance mark the choreographies of this "Bride of the wind", as the critic Manuel Martín Martín defined her in El Mundo. Trained in contemporary and flamenco, her creations are characterized by the search for a choreographic discourse that reflects her vital moment: the emotional present runs through all her works. Thus, her shows evolve, at the pace of her personal transformations, in pieces that cross borders with other arts and that resort to the technique of improvisation as the germ of movement.
Ana Morales has signed seven shows, awarded in different festivals and applauded by critics and public. Without permission. Canciones para el silencio, directed by Guillermo Weickert and co-produced by la Bienal de Sevilla, Festival de Jerez, Flamenco Festival and Tanzhaus Dusseldorf, won the prestigious Giraldillo al Baile and three Lorca Awards, as well as being included in El Cultural's selection of the best flamenco shows of the year. The piece premiered at the Festival de Jerez in 2018 and has been performed at the Théâtre Bernadette Laffont in Nîmes (France), at the Roman Theater of Baelo Claudia (Cádiz), at the Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris (France), in Thonon les Bains (Switzerland) and at Posthof-Zeitkultur am Hafen (Austria).
