Photos: Flamenco Artist Olga Pericet to Present BAILE SONORO at Repertorio Español NYC

With only one week until the premiere of Baile Sonoro, production photos have been released offering a first glimpse into the world of Spanish National Dance Prize winner Olga Pericet. The production opens next Friday, May 22, for a strictly limited nine-performance run at the historic Repertorio Español. 

The newly released images capture the "dance concert" atmosphere of the piece—a deliberate departure from traditional flamenco recitals. Pericet is seen in a constant, kinetic dialogue with guitarist José Manuel León and singer Mercedes Cortés, illustrating the "three bodies" in synchronization that form the heart of the work. 

Baile Sonoro (Sonorous Dance) is described by Pericet as an "open studio to infinite possibilities." Unlike a standard performance in which music supports the dance, this work treats the guitar and vocals as physical forces that shape, challenge, and drive the dancer’s momentum in real time. 

"I want to use the so-called ‘Flamenco recital’ to give it a new personal twist," says Olga Pericet. "To find, if they exist, uninhabited spaces." 

Performances will run Friday, May 22 at 7:00 PM; Saturday, May 23 at 2:00 PM & 7:00 PM; Sunday, May 24 at 3:00 PM; Thursday, May 28 at 7:00 PM; Friday, May 29 at 7:00 PM; Saturday, May 30 at 7:00 PM; Sunday, May 31 at 3:00 PM; and Tuesday, June 2 at 7:00 PM.
