Lucía Álvarez “La Piñona” is one of the most unique and dynamic flamenco dancers of her generation. And Moments, in collaboration with the Carmen Thyssen Museum Málaga, offers you the opportunity to attend the world premiere of her new piece “Calvario” in an exceptional setting. We are sure you will be enchanted for days by the magic and influence that this young and captivating artist can convey and recreate.

“Calvario” is a piece by Lucía Álvarez “La Piñona”, where she will explore, for the first time, the figure of the Virgin Mary, the mother, the person, the woman, and the wife. A reflection on her life in relation to that of her son. The dancer wonders if she agreed, if she understood her son's actions, if she ever rebelled, or fled in terror. Who knows if she perhaps had an opinion. The book “The Testament of Mary” by Colm Tóibín prompts Lucía to ask these questions and decide to think of Mary as a person, beyond just a vessel.

For now, it is a work of research and experimentation rather than a finished piece. A starting point. The version of Stabat Mater by Pergolesi, the saetas from Marchena, or the text “It is not to love you, my God, that moves me” are some of the musical foundations that the dancer will use. With the singing and guitar of Manuel Pajares as accompaniment and guide.

Born in Jimena de la Frontera (Cádiz), Lucía Álvarez “La Piñona” is one of the most personal and restless flamenco dancers of her generation. Thus, she has built a solid career on the main flamenco stages and festivals both nationally and internationally, collaborating with great artists like Arcángel, Esperanza Fernández, or Manuel Liñán, and participating in companies such as the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía.

After winning the First Prize Desplante Trophy at the 51st Festival de La Unión (Murcia) in 2011, as well as the First Prize from the Federation of Flamenco Entities of Sevilla (2009), the dancer has propelled her solo career, receiving critical acclaim and public endorsement through works like Emovere, premiered at the Jerez Flamenco Festival and earning a nomination for the Max Awards and two nominations for the Lorca Awards; Recital, premiered at the Toulouse Flamenco Festival (France); and Abril, a show presented at the Seville Flamenco Biennial in 2020. In 2022, she premiered Insatiable at the Seville Biennial, pre-premiered at the Teatros del Canal in Madrid, where she received excellent public and critical reception and was awarded the Lorca Prize for the best female flamenco dance performer in 2023.

She also participates in the Flamenco Experimental performance about the figure of Rosario Escudero, a project by Pedro G. Romero. She has just premiered her latest work called Lucía en Vivo at the Jerez Festival, and is combining tours with this and other previous projects like Insatiable or Recital.
