Xerinola’s local art brings us closer to the Catalan and Spanish vision of today’s world. A journey from the northern lights to the depths of the sea, from the church where chains are broken to the room where two sisters reclaim their freedom. Butoh for cows, Flamenco without gender, and a man walking without knowing where he’s headed. Xerinola looks at what’s close by and tells it through dance.

Manuel Liñán is a Flamenco dancer and choreographer who has transformed the art form, making it freer and more contemporary.
