Patricia Donn returns to the stage with her second great flamenco dance show after the success of Mujeres. With Angels and Demons, and at the head of her dance company and choreography, the artist shows why she is a rising star.
Just opened in Madrid Ágeles y Demonios, a very personal bet of Patricia Donn, dancer, choreographer and, above all, passionate about flamenco.
With an impeccable staging, a costume design by the great Juana Martín (haute couture) and a line-up with surprises – such as the reunion with “El Viejín” – the show is a must for flamenco lovers.
It will be playing until July 2 at the Gran Vía Theater and tickets can be purchased at from this box office or at the theater itself.
Patricia Donn speaks with ALL FLAMENCO
Patricia herself assures that it will not leave anyone indifferent. Dance sets the rhythm of the story of a helpless and hopeless person who struggles to survive in spite of his morale and physical ailments. The character in question is solitary and takes refuge in hearing and feeling musical melodies and songs. By this means, he overcomes his ailments, strengthens his spirit and fills himself with enthusiasm, vigour, strength and hope. He manages to recover faith in his existence. And it celebrates, with great enthusiasm and joy, the new opportunity of the joy of life, always to the rhythm of music, song and dance. “Vibrating with emotions for existence and always in search of happiness,” explains Patricia Donn.
Meeting Patricia Donn
You may have seen her first show as a choreographer, Women. It was a critical and public success, So this Angels and Demons, despite the artist’s youth, is born of wisdom.
Patricia Donn was born on 11 May 1997 in Granollers (Barcelona). She studied at the Paca García Flamenco School, and also studied classical, contemporary and classical Spanish dance. She has had as teachers Eva María Santiago, Susana Escoda, Antonio Canales and Eva Yerbabuena, Lola Greco, among others. She made her professional debut at the age of 16 at the Teatro Principal in Barcelona for a whole year and later danced in tablaos in Barcelona, Madrid, Jerez de la Frontera and Seville.
From that time in tablaos, where he continues to work, he explains that one learns a lot, “to improvise, to connect, to give it all”.
In 2022, after Women, the idea arose to create her own ballet for Ángeles y Demonios (Angels and Demons). With the collaboration of Antonio Canales as guest artist for the premiere, which took place on 4 January in Aranjuez, and on 7 January in El Escorial. Now, in Madrid, it hopes to win you over.
