Siudy Garrido
Creator, Artistic Director & Principal Dancer
Flamenco Suite brings together some of the most emblematic works of my artistic journey—pieces that I now interpret through the maturity gained from twenty-five years of creation and performing on stages around the world. Returning to them alongside a young, powerful, and deeply committed cast gives these works renewed energy; as Artistic Director, I am inspired by the way each dancer and musician brings their own sensitivity, strength, and individuality to a language we have shaped over the years. Flamenco Suite celebrates this encounter between experience and new energy, between the history that has brought us here and everything that still remains to be created.
