Produced by the Princess of Asturias Foundation and inspired by the figures of flamenco singer Carmen Linares and flamenco dancer and choreographer María Pagés, the documentary Carmen and María. Two paths, but one gaze will be screened at Seville’s 23rd Flamenco Biennial, following its premiere last March at the Malaga Film Festival and its forthcoming screening at the Santander International Festival in August.

The screening will take place at 8:30pm on 24th September at the Tres Culturas Foundation in Seville as part of the parallel activities organized on the occasion of the Biennial.

Included in the official section of the Avignon International Film Festival, this audiovisual piece reflects the process of artistic creation behind the flamenco artists’ shows and includes their reflections on their profession and lives, as well as their vision of flamenco art.

To mark the conferral of the Princess of Asturias Award for the Arts, in the summer of 2022 –twenty-five years after they had last worked together– Carmen Linares and María Pagés embarked on a creative process that was to subsequently give rise to this documentary, Carmen and María. Two paths, but one gaze. This intimate flamenco work, conceived to pay tribute through singing and dance to some of the most representative voices of Spanish poetry, was premiered at the Príncipe Felipe Auditorium in Oviedo on the eve of the Awards Ceremony under the presidency of Their Majesties The King and Queen of Spain and with the presence of Their Royal Highnesses The Princess of Asturias and Infanta Sofía.

The performance served as the starting point for the documentary, filmed during the rehearsals prior to the premiere of the show and which also reflects the experiences of the Laureates in the cultural and official events organized to mark the Princess of Asturias Awards. This audiovisual piece is the first documentary to be produced by the Princess of Asturias Foundation, which seeks to disseminate the work of its Laureates via different formats.

Flamenco Biennial
The Flamenco Biennial is a festival held every two years in different theatres in Seville. It shines a spotlight on dancers, singers and guitarists, whether they are up-and-coming talents or leading figures of this genre, representing both pure flamenco and new trends. The first Biennial, directed by José Luis Ortiz, was held in 1980. Since 2014, it has been associated with the Paris Biennale of Flamenco Art with the aim of “developing joint projects and leading an open debate on flamenco beyond Spain’s borders”.
