‘A diminutive figure with a towering presence, her fierce energy caged within a steely technique’ – THE GUARDIAN
La Leona means both the lioness and the flamenco guitar of Antonio De Torres. This avante garde solo puts Pericet in the spotlight – stripping herself physically and spiritually in a unique and intimate experience with the audience.
Combining theatre and dance, Pericet has created a world for her latest work that is as poetic and surreal as its title, filled with imagery that evoke Westerns, wakes and the stars themselves.
Winner of the Spain National Dance Prize 2018, Olga Pericet is a roaring revolutionary of recent times.


Olga Pericet
Fresh from her win at the Spanish National Dance Prize in 2018, the endlessly innovative Olga Pericet brings her beautiful experiments in flamenco to the festival once again. Combining theatre and dance, Pericet has created a world for her latest work that is as poetic and surreal as its title, filled with imagery that evoke Westerns, wakes and the stars themselves.
