CHICAGO DEBUT!Sonia Franco, who also goes by the artistic name of Sonia Libre, is a dancer, choreographer, and actress who has graced stages worldwide with her exceptional talent. She is a pivotal member of Sara Baras’ dance company, notably performing in the enthralling show "Sombras" during its extensive world tour. Her remarkable journey also includes being a part of María Pagés' dance company, where she contributed to the world tour of the mesmerizing showa "Yo Carmen" and "7 Golpes y un Camino," performing at prestigious venues from Montmarsall to Tokyo and beyond, including the Jerez Festival, Singapore, and the Seville Biennial. In 2017, Sonia made her film debut, working with the legendary director Terry Gilliam in the film "The Man Who Wanted to K*ll Don Quixote".
With her new creation, "Ser.Rana", Franco brings to audiences an experience that transforms the art of movement and sets dance free. It is like a body of water which cannot be contained, like an unceasing continuous flow of a river that is inside you and transforms your body through flamenco while you traverse impossible scenarios, which, akin to frogs, lose themselves when they are outside their pond. Franco is joined on stage by some of Spain’s most coveted musicians. The original music, composed for this flamenco journey, together with the minimalist aesthetic of dance, creates a close connection between artist and audience. The performance will last 75 minutes without intermission.
Doors open at 6 pm; show starts at 7:30 pm
