María Pagés flamenco show «De Scheherezade»
The iconic dancer and choreographer returns to Madrid’s stages with a work that turns the figure of Scheherazade into a symbol of sisterhood and female power.
About this event
From 26 September to 5 October, Nave 11 at Centro Danza Matadero will host six performances of De Scheherezade, the latest production by María Pagés together with El Arbi El Harti. Through twelve dance scenes, the artist from Málaga reinvents the imagery of the Oriental classic to present a flamenco, multifaceted and contemporary Scheherazade who speaks on behalf of all women.
The show brings together 17 performers on stage, accompanied by strings, percussion and a vocal trio made up of one Arabic voice and two flamenco voices. The proposal fuses tradition and modernity, from echoes of popular and Moroccan music to the power of cante jondo, creating a journey that oscillates between the intimate and the collective.
With tickets available from 27 euros, De Scheherezade stands as one of the major events of Madrid’s cultural season, bringing together dance, music and emotion in a piece that celebrates resistance, imagination and the female voice.
