ROCÍO MOLINA

Rocío Molina, with the help of two dancers and six musicians, transports us to a chimeric grove where an ambiguous, dangerous game is unleashed, a struggle for dominance where the deepest animal instincts emerge raw and naked. Atavistic and irrational impulses reveal the absurdity of human behaviour. In this universal conflict, the performance changes it nature, the unreal becomes clear and the game inevitably becomes drama.

2010 became a key year in the career of Rocío Molina when she obtained the National Dance Prize awarded by the Ministry of Culture in the category of performance, for “her contribution to the renewal of flamenco and her versatility and strength as a performer capable of handling the most diverse registers with freedom and courage … “.

We have seen her several times at the Mercat in the cycle “Flamenco Empírico”, and in 2012 with her latest show Afectos, accompanied by Rosario la Tremendita.

A dancing prodigy, brought up alongside renowned Spanish choreographers, Molina parades her art at the most prestigious international venues: the National Theatre de Chaillot in Paris, Sadler’s Wells in London, the Lincoln Centre in New York and the Esplanade in Singapore.
