EXPERIENCES

Vivencias (Experiences) is a flamenco show in which Mari Paz aims to evoke the importance certain flamenco palos have had in her own life. She first started dancing alegrías, and these marked her path as a bailaora (flamenco dancer). At age ten, Mari Paz won First Prize at the Manuel de Falla International Music and Dance Festival in Granada, dancing por garrotín... It was unforgettable! As a young woman, she learned to deal with tough times by dancing por siguiriya. And, in time, Lucena realized that, in addition to expressing pain and suffering, she could also express the things life itself has taught her. When she dances por soleá, she dedicates it to her loved ones, especially her son Mario. Lucena will finish her show with some tangos de Granada and dedicate them to her homeland, which is always in her heart.
