Ibérica de Danza presents La prodigiosa Zapatera at Cas Serres this Sunday, a fresh interpretation of Federico García Lorca’s play combining flamenco, Spanish dance and audiovisual projections.
The theatrical world of Federico García Lorca is coming to Ibiza this Sunday, 15 November, as dance company Ibérica de Danza takes to the stage at the Cas Serres Auditorium with La prodigiosa Zapatera. The production offers a new interpretation of Lorca’s celebrated tragicomedy The Shoemaker’s Prodigious Wife, bringing the story to life through flamenco, Spanish dance and cutting-edge stage technology.
The performance is scheduled for 7pm and forms part of the programme organised by the Ibiza Island Council to mark International Flamenco Day, celebrated on 16 November.
Conceived as a two-act comic ballet, the production translates the conflicts, emotions and spirit of freedom at the heart of Lorca’s work into the language of dance. Under the artistic direction of Manuel Segovia, the show explores the female experience, identity and individual freedom from a contemporary perspective, while preserving the popular character and humour of the original play.
One of the most distinctive aspects of this adaptation is its reinterpretation of the central female character, inspired by Agustina González López, a forward-thinking woman from Granada who served as an inspiration to García Lorca. Drawing on her story, the company creates a powerful celebration of female individuality, independence and strength.
Dance, music and technology come together on stage
La prodigiosa Zapatera combines Spanish dance and flamenco choreography with a soundtrack bringing together original compositions, classical pieces and melodies inspired by Lorca’s musical universe.
The stage design incorporates audiovisual projection and video mapping techniques, transforming the performance space and adding a new visual dimension to the story. Technology becomes an integral part of the production, enhancing the dancers’ expressiveness and reinforcing the poetic and theatrical atmosphere of the work.
Founded in 1993 by Manuel Segovia, recipient of Spain’s National Dance Award for Creation, and Violeta Ruiz del Valle, Ibérica de Danza is one of the leading companies in Spanish dance. Its international career has taken it to more than 30 countries, with productions that bring together traditional choreography and innovative forms of stage expression.
