The Antonio Gades Company presents Bodas de sangre (Blood Wedding), a work which combines the world-famous play by Federico García Lorca with the creative talent of Antonio Gades in a choreography of key importance to the history of dance.

The work of Antonio Gades, his creative partners, and the dancers in his company produced this wonderful ballet in five scenes. It captivated the public and showed dancers, choreographers, and the world in general that Andalusian dance is an autonomous language, able to express whatever is required of it. Bodas de sangre is presented here in a masterly, yet austere choreography, in which dance reinvents and gives life to the exuberant text of Federico García Lorca. Antonio Gades’ talent for finding the essence of everything, for mixing classic Spanish dance with the spontaneity of popular dances and customs, for combining pas-de-deux full of force and passion with perfectly designed, geometrical movements en masse, ensure that Bodas de sangre is engraved in the memory of everyone fortunate enough to see it.
