World premiere at the Teatro de la Zarzuela de Madrid, on 9 December 2017, by the Ballet Nacional de España.
Why Electra?
Whenever I face a new project I try to listen to my intuition and look for common points between its theme and my own creative world, my imagery, my roots. So, when I had the chance to put on Electra for the Ballet Nacional de España I pictured the story in rural, deepest Spain that has inspired and fascinated me since I was a child. Even though the plot is more than two thousand years away from us, its visceral feelings and beauty acted as a magnet that led me to our own popular, Spanish, Mediterranean culture. Attempting to return dance and choir to the place we believe they had in classical tragedies, as an element that unifies ideas and emotions, Electra, beyond styles or disciplines, is to me the continuation of the creative path I started as a choreographer years ago. Electra is a human and sensory experience in which movement, space, light, music, and voice are all part of a whole.
