Transfer Mediterranean in Dance Fundación Mediterráneo continues its season with Lucía Campillo, widely regarded as one of Spain’s leading dancers, presenting the show Un Lucero on Saturday, February 11 at 20:00. The venue is Fundación Mediterráneo Alicante, located at Avda Doctor Gadea 1. Tickets can be purchased at the box office or through the website, making this event accessible to a broad audience in the region.
In Un Lucero, Campillo traverses a curated path through multiple styles from the period. Flamenco, folklore, and classical Spanish music are blended to unfold a contemporary and avant-garde reading of traditional dance. The performance invites viewers to see how familiar forms can be deconstructed and reimagined through a modern lens.
Now in its third edition, Mediterranean in Dance continues to gather renowned artists and notable cultural personalities. Luis Boyer, president of Fundación Mediterráneo, emphasizes that the foundation aims to offer a space for the development of a discipline that is both beautiful and demanding, yet entirely shareable with audiences. This progressive program reflects a commitment to nurturing the art of dance in all its complexity.
The show explores Un Lucero as a means to illuminate an established artistic journey while honoring the dancer’s life and professional experience. The pieces reveal moments of unusual artistry, precise control, and ongoing transformation as Campillo moves toward a new creative phase. The themes include motherhood as a creative impulse and the imperfect aspects of motherhood, set against the backdrop of Spanish dance and flamenco as guiding lights for the performance.
Lucía Campillo, born in Murcia in 1987, began her training there before completing studies at the Mariemma Royal Professional Dance Conservatory in Madrid. In 2016 her work La Imperfecta received multiple recognitions, including best dancer, best musical composition, and best costume design at the Spanish and Flamenco Dance Competition in Madrid, highlighting her versatility and skill across genres.
Beyond performance, Campillo has earned praise as a teacher and choreographer in schools across Mexico, the United States, Japan, and China, among other locations. This broad experience demonstrates her ability to adapt to diverse styles, including bolero, and to work successfully with dancers from varied backgrounds, underscoring her global impact on the profession.
This cycle, Mediterranean in Dance, encompasses performances, lectures, and conferences that focus on the world of dance across Murcia and Alicante, and has been enriching audiences since January with a mix of artistic offerings and scholarly discussions.
Quixote Origen: the next performance of Mediterráneo en Danza
The next event in the Mediterranean in Dance series is scheduled for February 24 and will feature Quixote Origin by the Iberian Dance Company. The production revisits the literary classic through a synthesis of dance and research that celebrates the historical richness of the Quixote tradition, weaving together Bolero and the polyphonic styles associated with Quixote de Avellaneda. The work frames historical truth as both novelty and counterpoint within a contemporary performance context.
Tickets for the February 24 show are available at the box office or via the website, ensuring convenient access for audiences to experience this ambitious revival of a celebrated narrative. The program continues to bring together scholars, dancers, and audiences in a shared exploration of dance as a living art form that speaks to modern sensibilities while honoring tradition.
