ORIGEN

 

The dance solo presented by Nino de los Reyes in this edition of Suma Flamenca, Origen, won First Prize at the last Madrid Choreographic Competition, held last December in the Teatro Fernán Gómez. Nino de los Reyes also came first in the Suma Flamenca award to New Flamenco Talent that year for this same work. He also won the SGAE Fundación Autor Award for the original music for Danza Española created by Paco Cruz for this show.

Origen shows where I am at the moment creatively, a state of freedom, of search, and a starting point in the creation of my own language.
Origen is, moreover, a display of al the musical influences that feed my way of seeing dance, flamenco, Afro-Cuban, Arabic rhythms, jazz … Everything, to return finally to flamenco, always the child of an eternal fusion of rhythms and cultures. Origen is, finally, the search for my own path, a venture into new territories without ever losing sight of the starting point. Origen.
