Limited Engagement Premieres at Repertorio: May 22 – June 2, 2026
The highly anticipated premiere of Baile Sonoro, production photos have been released, offering a first glimpse into the visceral, high-tension world of Spanish National Dance Prize winner Olga Pericet. The production, which opened on Friday, May 22, for a strictly limited nine-performance runs at the historic Repertorio Español.
The newly released images capture the “dance concert” atmosphere of the piece—a deliberate departure from traditional flamenco recitals. Pericet is seen in a constant, kinetic dialogue with guitarist José Manuel León and singer Mercedes Cortés, illustrating the “three bodies” in synchronization that form the heart of the work.
A DIALOGUE OF SOUND AND BODY
Baile Sonoro (Sonorous Dance) is described by Pericet as an “open studio to infinite possibilities.” Unlike a standard performance in which music supports the dance, this work treats the guitar and vocals as physical forces that shape, challenge, and drive the dancer’s momentum in real time.
“I want to use the so-called ‘Flamenco recital’ to give it a new personal twist,” says Olga Pericet. “To find, if they exist, uninhabited spaces.”
