Expressed through the depth of the seguiriya, the femininity of the guajira, the intensity of the farruca, and the rhythms of the jaleos and bulerías.

In a world filled with internal dialogues and an excess of noise and information, are we truly in control of our decisions? Often, we are overwhelmed by anxiety, hindering our mental calm. As a result, there arises a need to reflect on the value of silence in our society, in a flamenco piece full of passion, strength, and elegance.

Notable for her strong expression, sense of rhythm, elegance and high level of physical and multidisciplinary abilities. Rebeca has been nominated in the Dancer category at the Seville Stages Awards 2024 for her recent production of flamenco roots and at the same time avant-garde Silences, which filled two nights at the Teatro La Fundición in Seville.

In her short artistic career, she has had the privilege of being nominated by the Embassy of Spain to represent flamenco art with her company in every corner of the world, performing in countries such as China, Bhutan, India, Ethiopia or Trinidad and Tobago. Highlights include Teatros del Canal (Madrid), Watford Palace Theatre (London), National Opera (Armenia), Montreux Dance Festival (Switzerland), National Theatre National Opera (Armenia), National Theatre of Performing Arts (Trinidad and Tobago).

She stood out in important productions such as A mi manera with the flamenco company Teatro Flamenco La Tati and as a solo dancer at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She is currently immersed in the production of Kalasetu in London, a show that fuses traditional flamenco art with classical Indian music and dance. Her passion and versatility have established her as a leading figure in the current flamenco scene.
