No is the unknown place to which we belong, and is an alternative that spurs us towards that which is unseen. No is the embers of a bonfire where we burn everything that belongs to the established order. We are the remains of others. We are charred wood, dust. But No is also the trigger that makes us keep going. Because art is one of the quintessential realms that exists by renouncing the “real” world.
Directed by Albert Hernández and Irene Tena, La Venidera aims to expand the boundaries of Spanish dance and flamenco, incorporating a contemporary perspective. Both have developed their artistic careers at the National Ballet of Spain, as principal dancer and soloist, respectively. Their works demonstrate a keen eye for detail and craftsmanship.
