In Flamenco untitled tradition is used to compose a new vision of flamenco, introducing uncommon instruments that renew and nurture the show. There is a pre-recorded composition by Pablo Martín Jhones and a music dialogue with different styles which create a new ambience, without losing the profound nature of this art. The original music was composed by Javier Patino, Paco Iglesias, Víctor el tomate, José Ángel Carmona and Antonia Jiménez, it is performed by guitarist Antonia Jiménez and the voices of Ismael de la Rosa and José Ángel Carmona. (How the show unfolds) Olga Pericet dances to silence, to the dry voice of the singer, to the guitar, to space, to the light.

6 REVIEWS A dancer who turns into a goddess when she goes out on stage. Art mysteries. El País 2014 There are people who are predestined to leave a trace Diario de Jerez 2014 Paying a tribute to Pilar López through what was the highlight of the evening, the wonderful caña, spectacular, performed by Olga Pericet and Marco Flores, in which they express feelings most complete longing. Manuel Martin Martin, El Mundo Febrero 2013 She has exquisite technique and broad artistic range, which undoubtedly makes her one of the most complete dancers of today. Cordoba flamenco 2013 An inhabitant of her own magic; she performed different pieces displaying versatility. She has received very prestigious awards, with a sober mise-en-scene and exceptional musicians. Juan Pinillas, Granada Hoy Junio 2012 Pericet is a small figure with stunning stage presence, ferocious energy locked-up in her sophisticated technique. Sanjoy Roy, The Guardian 2012 Pericet is undeniably charismatic and has an amazing technique The Washington Post, Paula Durbin 2012 Olga Pericet captures the New York audience with her renovated dance, her personality, her powerful technique, neatness, sophistication, many great aspects of a great dancer, and of course her inescapable contemporary spirit Julio Bravo, ABC 2012 Olga Pericet gave us a glimpse of the future contemporary dance, the one that has not arrived yet, seeing the future through the present. The chameleonic metamorphosis of this flamenco dancer is amazing. In every scene she is able to transform herself without losing her elegance Antonio Conde, La Voz Digital 2011 The bata de cola, reinterpreted in its expressive use, makes her grow again, but this time not to the air (although she flies with Caramés amazing portés), she flies towards the intriguing and melancholic depth that takes form in the soleá petenera. And while the light becomes extinct, the revelations become part of the past: Olga Pericet is a consummate artist. Silvia Calado Marzo, Flamenco-World 2011

performed by Olga Pericet and Marco Flores, in which they express feelings most complete longing.
