Patricia Guerrero, winner of the 2021 Spanish Ministry of Culture’s National Dance Award, got her first taste of flamenco dancing at home, at the age of three. She was born in Granada, in the Albaycín neighborhood, in 1990. Her flamenco roots run deep and she attended her mother’s academy.
“Flamenco is a language that feels like my own mother tongue. I want to live dance with all my inner freedom. I just want to keep being me, and never betray who I am,” she says.
In 2011 Patricia Guerrero was named prima ballerina of the Andalusian Flamenco Ballet, directed by Rubén Olmo. In November 2017 she performed Don Quixote in the Chillot National Theatre (Paris), alongside Andrés Marín’s company.
Deliranza is an ambitious dance production with an innovative take on flamenco, built on a combination of the classic Spanish art style and a surreal narrative tone.
