Olga Pericet and Her Choreographic Exploration
On 4 December 2026, the Teatre Martín i Soler at the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía will host La Leona, a creation by dancer and choreographer Olga Pericet. This piece, blending contemporary dance with flamenco roots, is an intimate and physical portrait of identity, power, and vulnerability. Pericet, renowned for her ability to bridge tradition and avant-garde, presents a performance where movement and emotion intertwine without compromise.
A Single Performance
The work will be performed at 19:30, with no additional shows in Valencia. Lasting approximately 70 minutes, La Leona offers a chance to discover the unique language of one of the most prominent figures in contemporary Spanish dance. Tickets, priced from €30, are available on the official Les Arts website, at the box office, and by phone.
Context and Career
Olga Pericet, winner of the National Dance Award in 2018, has developed a style that transcends traditional flamenco. Her work, featured in international festivals such as the Avignon Festival and Sadler’s Wells in London, is characterised by her constant exploration of the body as a tool for political and poetic expression. La Leona is the result of this journey: a piece that, according to critics, "challenges labels and moves with its honesty" (El Cultural).
