Compañía María “la Serrana”

Desnuda

Flamenco from Seville

Flamenco dancer María “la Serrana” is renowned for her authentic, deeply rooted gypsy flamenco. Her powerful footwork, expressive movement and instinct for improvisation bring a raw honesty and vibrant energy to every performance. Her new show, Desnuda (“naked”), is not about physical nudity but emotional openness. Inspired by Farruquito’s advice to “strip back the layers of your soul”, María explores deeper expression through traditional forms. The programme includes the fragile Zambra, the anguished Seguiriya and the intense Soleá.

She is joined by special guest Antonio Moreno “Polito” for a striking paso a dos, alongside musicians Antonio Amador and Juan Fernández (vocals) and Luis Amador (guitar). Featuring local guest Joyce Richardson, this is an evening of powerful, authentic flamenco.

María trained with leading artists including Matilde Coral, Manuela Carrasco and Adela Campallo, and has been deeply influenced by Farruquito of the legendary Farruco dynasty. She also runs Flamenco Esencia in Triana, Seville - an intimate venue where she curates, hosts and performs, sharing flamenco in a warm, close-up setting.
