Marbella celebrates International Dance Day with the Spanish premiere of 'Blessed Land'

Tomorrow, Saturday 26th at 8:00 PM, the Marbella City Theater will host the premiere in Spain of the show 'Tierra Bendita', by the Andalusian Flamenco Ballet, in celebration of International Dance Day. The general director of Culture, Carmen Díaz, presented the proposal alongside the manager of the Andalusian Agency for Cultural Institutions of the Ministry of Culture and Sport, Javier Rivera, and the ballet's director, Patricia Guerrero. Díaz emphasized that "it is a true satisfaction to commemorate this date in the best way possible, with a group that is the highest institutional representative of the deep-rooted art and with whom we have been collaborating since the launch of TodoDanza in 2009." She noted that "it is always a celebration and an explosion of energy from the audience, as it allows us to enjoy the beauty of this universal art with a contemporary and avant-garde perspective," while also mentioning that "it is a magnificent prelude to the festival, which will take place in the fall."

Rivera, for his part, highlighted "the strong commitment of the Marbella City Council to this discipline with programming that always maintains quality and contributes to enriching Andalusian culture" and explained that "from the regional government we have a great commitment to the ballet and flamenco as a spearhead with a group that has more than thirty years of history and of which we are deeply proud." He also pointed out that "'Tierra Bendita' is a flamenco suite created by the director and National Dance Award winner Patricia Guerrero, arriving in Marbella with sold-out tickets after a highly successful tour in Chile, offering a journey through the entire amalgam of styles and regions of the genre." Lastly, Guerrero stated that "it is a pleasure to make the national debut of our show in Marbella, in a theater that is a gem" and detailed that "the show speaks of Andalusia and condenses the essence of flamenco, filled with tradition and modernity, from the old to the new, from the aesthetics of the 18th century to that of the 21st century, making it one of the most complete proposals to celebrate International Dance Day, and we hope the local audience will enjoy it."
