ABOUT MARCO FLORES
Dancer, choreographer, and recipient of the National Flamenco Award, Marco Flores identifies as a free-spirited performer. His work is contemporary and constantly evolving, reflecting a living creator engaged with the present, while maintaining a distinctive and personal style that he has developed in over twenty-five years of solid career.
He stands out for his refined technique, closely linked to music, and a way of dancing that connects with his most traditional flamenco roots, while also being influenced by other dance disciplines that enrich his work. His creations are fearless and do not follow prevailing trends. Throughout his productions, he has explored themes such as the feminine (“DeFlamencas,” 2010), intergenerational relationships (“Entrar al Juego,” 2016), queer identities (“Laberíntica,” 2013 and “Extrema,” 2018), the elusive quest of the artist (“Rayuela,” 2020), and social consciousness (“Sota, Caballo y Reina,” 2021).
After ten years co-producing shows with Manuel Liñán, Olga Pericet, and Daniel Doña—forming with the latter the company Chanta La Mui—he founded his own company in 2010: Cía. That same year, the company premiered its first show, “DeFlamencas,” at the Gran Teatro de Córdoba, which went on to win the Specialized Critics Award at the Festival de Jerez in 2012. Since then, the company has produced more than twelve shows, featuring many prestigious guest artists, such as Carmela Greco, Olga Pericet, Sara Cano, Jesús Méndez, José Valencia, David Lagos, and Alejandro Granados, and working with esteemed directors such as Francisco López and Juan Carlos Lérida.
Among his most recent awards are the 2018 El Ojo Crítico Dance Award from Radio Nacional de España, the 2020 Max Award for Best Male Dance Performer for the show “Origen,” and the 2024 Godot Award for Best Dance Performer for “Rayuela.” Additionally, Flores regularly choreographs for numerous companies, including works for the Ballet Nacional de España, Olga Pericet, Jesús Carmona, Daniel Doña, Eduardo Guerrero, and the Professional Dance Conservatories of Madrid and Almería.
“He stands out for his personal language, full of textures that enrich flamenco, and for his constant search and restlessness, which lead him to engage with different dance disciplines.”
Marco and his company have performed in prestigious venues such as Teatros del Canal in Madrid, Mercat de les Flors in Barcelona, Lope de Vega in Seville, Tanzhaus in Düsseldorf, New York City Center, Miami Dade County Auditorium, Sydney Opera House, Sadler’s Wells in London, Suzanne Dellal Centre (Tel Aviv), Magnolia Theatre (Shanghai), and the Damascus Opera House.
They have also appeared at major flamenco and dance festivals, including Festival Internacional Madrid en Danza, Suma Flamenca (Madrid), Bienal de Sevilla, Festival de Jerez, Festival de Nîmes, Dansa València, Festival Dantzaldia (Bilbao), Cádiz en Danza, Deltebre Dansa, Festival Flamenco Madrid, Flamenco Festival London, Festival Flamenco Internacional de Albuquerque (USA), Festival Internacional de Danza de la Ciudad de México (UNAM), Kuopio Dance Festival (Finland), Konstepidemin Festival (Sweden), among others.
