Premieres of the XXVI Festival de Jerez

This edition of the Festival de Jerez will offer over 40 shows on four different stages (Teatro Villamarta, Sala Compañía, Bodega González Byass and Museos de la Atalaya), including up to ten unique premieres. The Spanish National Ballet, directed by Rubén Olmo, is opening the exhibition with two performances of its 'Centenario Antonio Ruiz Soler' at the Jerez coliseum, and the closing will be performed by Antonio El Pipa's company presenting the world premiere of 'Bodas de plata' (Silver Wedding).

Out of the four premieres scheduled at the Villamarta Theater, the first one corresponds to Manuela Carpio ('La fuente de la inspiración'), where the Jerez-born bailaora counts on the participation of Antonio Canales, La Farruca and Joaquín Grilo, among other dancers. It will be towards the end of the event when Antonio Molina 'El Choro' will showcase his '#SiDiosKiere', under the direction of Juan Dolores Caballero. Then, Mercedes de Cordoba, leading his company, will present 'Yes, I want!' and Antonio El Pipa will do the same with his new proposal 'Silver Jubilee. XXV Anniversary', with Manuela Carrasco as guest artist. The Sevillian artist will have her own protagonism with her show 'Aires de mujeres'.
The main stage of the Villamarta Theater will also host the premiere in our country of 'Segunda piel' by Mercedes Ruiz, as well as the performances of 'Bailando con Lorca en la Edad de Plata' by the Carmen Cortés Company; 'Vuelta a uno. Extract from 'Trilogía sobre la guitarra' by Rocío Molina; and 'Flamenco: espacio creativo' by Alfonso Losa.

García Lorca also serves as inspiration for the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía, directed by Úrsula López, which will perform 'El maleficio de la mariposa' at the Festival. Other shows will have autobiographical dyes -such as María Moreno's 'More (no) More'- or will move in a complementary duality -such is the case of Ana Morales' 'En la cuerda floja' (On the tightrope). After his acclaimed '¡Viva!', Manuel Liñán delves into tradition from the nonconformism in 'Pie de hierro' and Farruquito will claim the peculiar style that characterizes his family.

Other flamenco venues at the Jerez Festival

In Sala Compañía the premieres will feature Beatriz Morales and Agujetas Chico ('Flamenco sin sulfitos'); Irene Rueda ('Tronie. Retratos del alma'); and Juan Tomás de la Molía ('Presente'). It so happens that these last two artists were the winners of the Turin de la Frontera 2020 Contest, held in Jerez.

Within the Muy Personal cycle, the absolute premieres will continue at the Museos de la Atalaya with Macarena López ('Reverso'); Juan Fernández ('De los puertos'); Sara Jiménez ('Adioses'); the Compañía Musa Carmen Fernández ('La Rosa Mutábile') and Rosario Toledo, together with Jaiver Galiana and Alba Haro ('Playeras'). A cycle that also includes Lucía Álvarez 'La Piñona' ('Abril') and the tandem formed by Estévez & Paños, who with 'La confluencia' will close the event with another premiere.

The cycle Con Nombre Propio will take place halfway between the Museos de la Atalaya and the Sala Compañía. Meanwhile Javier Baron will perform in the first of the scenic spaces, Angel Rojas Dance Project and Rafael Campallo will perform in the second.

One of the main attractions of the cycle Toca Toque will be to see the guitarist Victor Monge 'Serranito' in his farewell tour of the stage at the Bodega Gonzalez Byass. As a dream' has entitled his show this precursor of the concert guitar. However, this more instrumental program has other important attractions, since in Sala Compañía Salvador Gutiérrez will unravel his '11 Bordones' and Daniel Casares will tackle 'Guitarrísimo'. In addition, Juan Requena will present his album 'Cenachería' and Joselito Acedo will make a flamenco journey through 'Triana D.F.'.

Regarding singing the series De la Raíz starts with Pansequito at the Bodega González Byass, and continues in the same winery space with the stamp that Jerez brings to flamenco in this facet with the voices of María Terremoto and Luis El Zambo without neglecting the Sevillian Anabel Valencia.

As usual, the cycle De Peña en Peña, in collaboration with the Local Federation of Peñas Flamencas, promotes the performance of young local artists free of charge. In addition, there is a training area that offers 46 courses and workshops on different learning levels, as well as complementary activities as a space for debate and promoting all that is happening around flamenco.

And also... courses with great masters at the Jerez Festival
