Utopia is a declaration of principles in the form of Flamenco dance, born of the artiste's admiration for the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. A humanist whom, at his 103 years of age, leaves the unmistakable sinuosity of his buildings to us as a legacy, as well as - above all - the integrity, commitment and solidarity that have guided his life, that has become both an inspiration and a message.
Utopia, which was premiered this year - on October 8th 2011 at the Niemeyer Center in Avilés, Spain - is an emotional reflection on the yearning, the imagination and the instinct that human beings possess, empowering themselves to dream of living in a better future. This is a global project, in which eight male Flamenco dancers together with María Pagés, interpret the experiences of the ethics and aesthetics of desire, of nonconformity and utopia.
