Compañia Nacional de Danza 2

without words, duende, and gnawa

When renowned choreographer Nacho Duato was appointed Artistic Director of the Compañía Nacional de Danza in 1990, it signified a considerable change. From a traditionally classical foundation, Duato transformed the company into a ballet with a personality of its own, fusing contemporary style with classical roots and adding some of Spain’s essential characteristics—passion, romance, and spontaneity. Duato’s own work is charming, whimsical, and somehow epic and timeless.
