Antonio Najarro — Dancer, choreographer
Program notes
Discover a one-of-a-kind documentary following the work of Antonio Najarro: dancer, choreographer, and artistic director of the prestigious Spanish National Ballet, an institution founded in 1979 by Antonio Gades. Enter into the worlds surrounding dances like flamenco, Escuela Bolera and numerous other Iberian dances.
In this film by director Jean-Marie David, Najarro gives us behind-the-scenes tours of the National Ballet and Flamenco's other symbolic homes in Madrid and Seville, as well as generously opening up about his own creative process and sharing the subtleties of his evolving art, an art deeply rooted in the soul of a proud and spirited nation.
