María Pagés. News: Archivos Tour 2008

30/10/2008 By Yuris Nórido.

Maria Pagés fills the stage on her own, even when it is a big stage, as in the Mella Theatre. We have seen her dancing a deeply rooted Flamenco, powerful, yet fresh. She is tall and beautiful, enthralling, emanating a ready sense of humour. She faces the audience straight on, translucent, with confidence, as if we had known her forever. She gives herself up to her public, dances as if her life depended on her dance; but there is no tragedy in this: Maria Pagés' dance is about the joy of Life, the good fortune of being able to feel, to enjoy, to love... Maria Pagés dances Flamenco as if she were born to this dance.

Maria Pagés, the Spanish dancer and choreographer, is taking her Flamenco show "Seville" back to the Grand National Theatre in Beijing, following the huge success of their two shows during the past month of April, when the theatre was sold out both times.

The Cervantes Institute opens their largest headquarters in the capital of Japan.
The King and Queen of Spain officially opened the Cervantes Institute in Tokyo, the largest temple of the Spanish language abroad. When night fell, MariaPagés and her passionate dance conquered the hearts of the Emperors, Ahihito and Michiko, and those of the businessmen, artists, civil servants, politicians and bankers who had been invited by King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia to a succulent dinner served by Joseph Barahona.
