Mercedes Ruiz & Santiago Lara “DUAL” will meet their fans on May 24th at the Istanbul Atatürk Cultural Center – Theatre Hall.
Mercedes Ruiz & Santiago Lara
A Dance and Guitar Journey from the Masters of Flamenco
“A magnificent performance!” – ELLE France
Two world-famous names of flamenco, Mercedes Ruiz (choreography and dance) and Santiago Lara (composer and guitarist), bring their partnership of more than 20 years — both on stage and in life — together in the impressive performance titled “DUAL.”
Premiered at the 2023 Avignon Off Festival, DUAL received great acclaim with 19 performances, followed by five completely sold-out shows in London, as well as appearances in major cities across the United States, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Paris La Scala, and throughout Spain.
Next stops: Paris, Berlin, Seville, Istanbul, Ankara!
DUAL offers an emotional journey through different styles of flamenco, presenting to the audience the evolution of dance and the rich expressive world that extends from its traditional roots to its modern interpretation.
At the same time, this performance stands as a tribute to flamenco guitar and Spanish music, featuring works by masters such as Sabicas, Sarasate, Ramón Montoya, and Manuel Morao, as well as original compositions by Santiago Lara, a student of Manolo Sanlúcar.
Artists:
Mercedes Ruiz, who has had her own company since 2001, is the recipient of some of the world’s most prestigious flamenco dance awards.
Mercedes breathes through flamenco, feels through flamenco — it is a way of thinking, feeling, and living.
She is a sensitive soul who has turned dance into her own form of expression, combining technique, style, emotion, and the essence of dance in an intimate and inseparable way.
She has won major awards such as the Córdoba National Flamenco Art Award, the Seville Biennial Award, and several critics’ and audience awards at the prestigious Festival de Jerez.
She has produced and created 12 shows with her own company, touring the world and performing on prestigious stages such as Maison de la Danse (Lyon), Sadler’s Wells (London), International Music House (Moscow), Teatro La Fenice (Venice), and New York City Center (New York).
She has worked as a choreographer for the Spanish National Ballet and continues to teach flamenco dance internationally through her intensive and ongoing programs.
Santiago Lara has released six albums and is recognized as one of the most important flamenco guitarists of his generation; he is also known for his concerto composed for guitar and orchestra.
🔥 DUAL – Passion, grace, and mastery from the heart of flamenco!
