    Performance La Femme Rouge
    Choreographer Kaari Martin
    Choreographer Choreographer-dancer Kaari Martin is one of the top names in contemporary flamenco. Her company’s own repertoire naturally combines flamenco technique with the freedom of modern dance, and its works have indeed broadened the concept of flamenco as a form of international contemporary art.
    In the end of 2012 her choreography The Raven won the first prize for best choreography for solo performance in the world’s most prestigious flamenco choreography competition, the Certamen de Coreografia de Flamenco y Danza Española.
    Company The Compañía Kaari & Roni Martin is an independent dance group formed in 2002 whose works have broadened the concept of flamenco as a form of international contemporary art. One of the finest groups on the contemporary flamenco scene,
    it has a repertoire that combines flamenco technique with the freedom of modern dance.
    The company has also gained recognition abroad: In 2012 The Raven claimed a triple victory, taking the main prizes for best solo choreography, best music and best costumes. Distinctive combination of movement, music and visualization is characteristic for the group.
    Performance La Femme Rouge is a strongly personal piece in which the Martin’s adopt the rhythmic and form language of flamenco and spice it up with their own views and harness the boundlessness of modern music and contemporary art.
    It is a highly charged requiem where the unpredictability of life can be both crippling and an absurdly empowering force.
