Choreographed by Artistic Director Martín Santangelo and principal dancer Soledad Barrio, with musical composition by guitarists Eugenio Iglesias and Salva de María, La Ronde moves between a series of duets to include various combinations of dancers, singers and guitarists, all given equal weight.

Created and choreographed by Martín Santangelo, Creación was inspired by the strength, depth of emotion and resilience of these women.
