Cathia Poza: De juerga con 4 flamencos

Cathia Poza, an astonishing flamenco free spirit, who has drawn her inspiration from a variety of sources, has distinguished herself alongside some exceptionally talented artists such as Bernardo Sandoval, Anima, or Roè, to mention but a few. For this show, she has invited the rider, Thierry Pellegrin, and his horse, Caracol, for a pas de trois. The rhythm of hooves reply to those of the dancer's shoes and the gestural energy of Cathia is reflected in the movements of the horse.

A show of great mastery and of very beautiful artistic quality.
