Iberian Suite – Compañía María Pagés: Utopía
Spain-based dancer and choreographer María Pagés brings the U.S. premiere of her 2011 work Utopía for her company’s Kennedy Center debut
Internationally renowned for her personal aesthetic concept of the art of flamenco, Spanish dancer and choreographer María Pagés has won numerous awards, and has collaborated with a variety of artists that include Plácido Domingo, Ángel Corella, and others. Her ensemble Compañía María Pagés has toured extensively around the world.
