The Carthage International Festival welcomes on July 23 at 10 p.m., a big size in the world of flamenco in the person of Sara Baras.
The prestigious Flamenco dancer Sara Baras will present in Carthage, a show dedicated to the Spanish musician and composer Paco de Lucía (Algeciras, 1947 – Cancún, Mexico, 2014), considered as the best guitarist in Flamenco in history.
This new show, entitled “Vuela”, is a choreographic journey made up of fifteen pieces that revolve around a word.
It is thus divided into four acts: “wood” for the strength of the roots and the intrinsic warmth of being, “sea” for the passion adopting the fluidity of water, “death” which explores the deepest human emotions, and “flying” which presents itself as the only way to escape without running, simply being carried by party and joy.
Born in San Fernando (Cadiz, Spain) in 1971, Sara Pereyra Baras is a dancer, choreographer, actress and director considered as one of the greatest professionals in Flamenco dance. She took her first dance steps with her mother, Concha Baras, then with the group Los Niños de la Tertulia Flamenca.
At the age of fourteen, she joined Manuel Morao’s troop and won the first Gente Joven prize in TVE. In 1994, she was hired by the Grand Cantaor Enrique Morente, then joined the company of Paco Peña, which carried out tours in Europe, and participated some time after in the Flamenco Biennale in Seville.
In 1997, she founded her own troop: the Flamenco Sara Baras ballet, which she presented to the XXXVIIy National Festival of Cante in Las Minas. Among the great productions she has carried out, let us quote “Juana la Loca”, “Mariana Pineda”, “Medusa” and “Sombras”.
In addition, Sara received in 2003 the National Dance Prize, in 2004 the gold medal of Andalusia and in 2009 the gold medal of the Merit of Fine Arts.
