Eduardo Guerrero
Eduardo Guerrero González was born in Cádiz in 1983 and started dancing at just six years old at Carmen Guerrero’s school. He began to develop in depth alongside great teachers such as Mario Maya, Antonio Canales, and Manolo Marín. He studied at the Cádiz Dance Conservatory and later expanded his knowledge of contemporary and classical dance. Starting in 2002, he began to work with great artists who valued his physical ability and refined technique, developing leading roles in the Companies of Aida Gómez, Eva La Yerbabuena, Rocío Molina, Javier Latorre, Rafael Aguilar, and the National Ballet of Spain.
In 2011, he began touring with his original choreographies, including Desplante in 2015, Qualitätskontrolle in Amsterdam in 2016, and Guerrero in 2017, which won the Audience Award a tthat year’s Festival de Jerez. He returned to Spain with Faro in 2017, and Sombra Efímera at the XX Bienal de Sevilla. Sombra Efímera II wowed audiences at the Teatro La Maestranza de Sevilla in 2019.
In 2021, Guerrero presented the acclaimed Debajo de los Pies at the Festival de Jerez, which earned him a 2022 Lorca Prize for Best Male Flamenco Dancer. Currently, Eduardo is immersed in his new show Bailar no es Solo Bailar, and continues work on Debajo de los Pies, the most personal, transgressive and ambitious projects of his career. In 2023, Guerrero won three awards, the Silver Slipper from Indanza Almería, the Alma Andalucia Award from the Junta Andalucia and FECACE, and the Guitarra con Alma prize at the XXVII Festival de Jerez.
After resounding success in the Lorca and Granada Cycle in the Generalife Gardens, he continues a fearless exploration of dance, breaking established conventions, and experiencing new performances within the plastic and visual arts. Now is the moment of this great dancer who, with a current aesthetic and a deep knowledge of the essence of flamenco excites and triumphs wherever he dances.
