Colombia is a multicultural and multiethnic country. Its cultural richness is multifaceted and can undoubtedly constitute a paradigm of knowledge of our open identity. Spain and Colombia share the same cultural heritage and the same history of sensitivity. The greatness of this legacy lies in the fact that both have been nurtured and enriched over time by the singularities contributed by the new ideas and currents of thought that our environments have sculpted.
The history of Spain and Colombia is marked by the beautiful phenomenon of mobility, very present in the flamenco aesthetic discourse. In our travels back and forth we have not stopped transferring to each other the best saps that our peoples have forged together. The CICLO COLOMBIA BAILA is born, precisely, from the need to preserve this common attribute and pay tribute to it through dance.
Colombia Baila
The cycle, moderated by Ramiro Eduardo Osorio Fonseca, general director of the Teatro Mayor Julio Mario Santo Domingo in Bogota and María Pagés, president of the CCMP, gathers the best features offered by the mobility that characterizes the continuous construction of our fraternal relationship. Through it, and raising dance to the value of a vector of knowledge and exchange, we want to bring the art of Colombian and Spanish dance closer to our two communities, claiming the involvement of the Spanish and Colombian communities.
The Cycle is composed of 4 virtual meetings and 1 face-to-face meeting. Its objective is to bring together notable personalities from the world of culture and dance of the two countries. The events will be broadcast on the YouTube channels of the CCMP and the Teatro Mayor Julio Mario Santo Domingo in Bogota, as well as their networks.
