Modri duh je sodobna flamenko predstava, ki z gibom in zvokom vabi v svet modre kresničke – redke žuželke, ki s svojo svetlobo odpira razmislek o krhkosti naravnega sveta. Ustvarjalni dvojec Luz & Mannion Dance v njej redefinira formo flamenka in se z dih jemajočim gibom in živo elektronsko glasbo podaja na senzorično popotovanje svetlobe, v kateri gradi pripoved o nevidnem, nepomembnem, a ključnem. Modri duh je opomin o vlogi, lepoti in neskončnem pomenu tudi najmanjšega bitja med nami za skupnost.
Koreografijo in koncept podpisujeta Magdalena Mannion in Noemí Luz, britansko-španska plesna zasedba, v sodelovanju z britanskim skladateljem elektronike Nickom Rothwellom (Cassiel). Predstava je z željo po obravnavi ekoloških vprašanj nastala tudi v sodelovanju z organizacijama za varstvo žuželk Xerces in Buglife UK. Zasedba je nastopila na odrih Sadler’s Wellsa, The Lowryja in Nacionalnega gledališča v Londonu. Njeno delo vključuje tudi projekt In Body, digitalni festival Dancing Nation (BBC iPlayer) in številne mednarodne turneje.
𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 in 𝗡𝗼𝗲𝗺𝗶́ 𝗟𝘂𝘇 sta priznani britansko-španski plesni in koreografski dvojec, ki od leta 2017 umetniško vodi Luz & Mannion Dance Company. Obe delujeta na presečišču tradicionalnega, sodobnega in eksperimentalnega flamenka ter se na mednarodnih odrih predstavljata kot ustvarjalki, pedagoginji in interpretinji. Skupaj sta kot avtorici in izvajalki prepoznani v pomembnih evropskih institucijah, med drugim v Sadler’s Wells v Londonu, in predstavljata vedno preizprašujoča, inovativna glasova sodobnega flamenka.
Njuno delo ni podrejeno običajnim stereotipom flamenka, temveč raziskuje potencial te mogočne in dinamične umetnosti skozi različne umetniške discipline in kulturne kontekste. Poklanja se tradicionalnim oblikam, hkrati pa širi njihove meje, sprejema odprte pristope ter ustvarja raznolike in aktualne umetniške projekte. Flamenko razumeta kot niansiran, energičen in poetičen jezik ter večplastno orodje avtorefleksije in izražanja identitete, ki zaobjema posameznika in skupnost. Navdihuje ju stalen dialog med britansko in špansko kulturo, umetniško radovednost pa vnema odprtost za raznolika interdisciplinarna sodelovanja.

Cikel 𝗡𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗼 predstavlja umetnost na področju sodobnega flamenka. Oblikujejo ga interdisciplinarni umetniški dogodki, osnovani predvsem na živi povezavi glasbe in plesa, ter spremljevalni program izobraževalnih in teoretskih vsebin. Program gradi medkulturni lok med tujimi in domačimi ustvarjalci, ki vzpostavljajo dialog med umetniško prakso flamenka in drugimi glasbenimi žanri in predstavljajo nove ustvarjalne pristope h glasbeni, plesni in performativni umetnosti. Od svojega nastanka leta 2017 daje prostor najnovejšim umetniškim projektom, ki temeljijo na žanrski presečnosti in ponuja širok spekter sodobnih izraznih form. V njem se nizajo koncerti in plesne uprizoritve, v katerih tradicija vstopa v navdušujoča zavezništva z novitetami.

Blue Ghost is a contemporary flamenco performance that, through movement and sound, invites the audience into the world of the blue firefly – a rare insect whose light sparks reflection on the fragility of the natural world. In this work, the creative duo Luz & Mannion Dance redefine the form of flamenco, embarking on a sensorial journey of light shaped through breath-taking movement and live electronic music. Out of this interplay emerges a narrative about the invisible, the seemingly insignificant, yet ultimately essential. Blue Ghost is a poignant reminder of the role, beauty, and profound importance of even the smallest of beings within our shared ecosystem.
The choreography and concept are by Magdalena Mannion and Noemí Luz, the British–Spanish duo at the heart of Luz & Mannion Dance Company, in collaboration with British electronic composer Nick Rothwell (Cassiel). Created with a desire to engage ecological questions, the work was also developed in partnership with insect conservation organisations Xerces and Buglife UK. The company has performed at Sadler’s Wells, The Lowry, and the National Theatre in London. Their work further includes the project In Body, Sadler’s Wells’ digital festival Dancing Nation (BBC iPlayer), and numerous international tours.
𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 and 𝗡𝗼𝗲𝗺𝗶́ 𝗟𝘂𝘇 are acclaimed British–Spanish dancers and choreographers who have co-directed Luz & Mannion Dance Company since 2017. Working across the traditional, contemporary, and experimental spectrums of flamenco, they perform internationally as creators, educators, and interpreters. Recognized as authors and performers within leading European institutions such as Sadler’s Wells in London, they are celebrated for bringing inquisitive and innovative voices to the field of contemporary flamenco.
Their artistic practice resists the familiar stereotypes of flamenco, instead exploring the potential of this powerful and dynamic art form across artistic disciplines and cultural contexts. While honouring its traditions, they extend its boundaries, embrace open approaches, and create diverse, relevant, and thought-provoking artistic projects. They understand flamenco as a nuanced, energetic, and poetic language, and as a multifaceted tool of self-reflection and identity – one that speaks to both the individual and the collective. Their work is inspired by an ongoing dialogue between British and Spanish cultures and fuelled by a spirit of curiosity and openness towards interdisciplinary collaboration.
