Mercedes de Córdoba at Flamenco Arts Festival 2024

Spanish flamenco dancer Mercedes de Córdoba performs her critically acclaimed work “SER, ni conmigo ni sin mí” at the Gala Flamenco Arts Festival.

Mercedes de Córdoba presents a show featuring five scenes that illustrate the main character’s journey through her memories, conflicts, fears, and hopes. This journey is shaped by singing, guitar playing, and costumes that come to life and then fade away, reflecting the artist’s inner world as she navigates what is, was, will be, could be, and should be.
