Considered one of the greatest flamenco dancers of all time, Sara Baras has received countless awards and honours over her three-decade career. In 1998, she created the ensemble that allowed her to fully realize her choreographic and directorial ideas. Her hypnotic stage presence has enchanted audiences at such venues as London’s Royal Albert Hall, the Sydney Opera House, the Champs-Élysées Theatre in Paris, the New York City Center.
With Alma, Sara Baras returns to both the roots of flamenco and the feverish early days of her career. She called the production a large embrace, in which different forms and styles of dance can meet and interact. Alma is also a way of looking at the world and at life, with rhythm at its centre, which is the origin and destination of everything.
