On August 26th, the majesty of flamenco and spirituality will go hand in hand at one of the summer's most important cultural events. The prestigious Santander International Festival, which this year celebrates its historic 75th edition, will host the performance of Liturgia, the acclaimed work by the masterful bailaor José Maya.
A journey to the roots of the sacred
Liturgia goes far beyond a traditional flamenco dance show; it is a mystical and sensory experience. In this work, José Maya proposes a deep immersion into the spiritual roots of Andalusian and Mediterranean culture. Through his earthy and solemn dance, the bailaor explores the intimate connection between the divine and the earthly, fusing the most orthodox flamenco with ancient sounds, liturgical chants, and reminiscences of Mozarabic rites.
The staging is designed to be immersive, transforming the space into a true temple of art where the spectator is invited to participate in a direct emotional communion. Silence, echo, percussion, and the quejío (the deep flamenco lament) intertwine to elevate Maya's dancing to a state of pure devotion.
The perfect stage: The Santander Festival
The inclusion of this work in the program of the 75th edition of the Santander Festival underlines the scale and international quality of the production. This festival, renowned for its exquisite selection of classical music, dance, and performing arts, finds in Liturgia a sublime artistic expression that perfectly matches its spirit of excellence and tradition.
Performing in such an emblematic setting marks a new milestone for this production, which has already captivated audiences and critics alike in churches and monumental stages with its ability to move people and transcend the boundaries of the genre.
