LA LEYENDA

The ballet La Leyenda is dedicated to the work of the great Spanish dancer Carmen Amaya who performed in a flamenco company at the Bar de Manquet in the 1930s. The passionate and insistent style of her dance was so bewitching that gradually a myth began to grow that the flamenco was a universal image for the Spanish temperament. In the proud dance pose, taut as a string, Carmen Amaya comes to life in the art of the Ballet Nacional de Espaсa, just like the statue in Barcelona that commemorates this great dancer.
“La Leyenda springs from reminiscences about this legendary woman. Josй Antonio created this ballet with passion and adoration. He strove to recreate several passages from the life and art of Carmen Amaya, her strength and her fragility, her grandeur and her solitude.”
