Olga Pericet is an internationally acclaimed flamenco dancer and choreographer known for blending tradition with daring innovation. Her performances embody the contrasts of flamenco: dark and luminous, feminine and masculine, unsettling and beautiful. Recognized as “one of the great contemporary figures of flamenco” (Paris Art), “a mercurial presence and fearless experimenter” (The New Yorker), and praised for her “ferocious energy paired with sophisticated technique” (The Guardian), Pericet is a trailblazer in her field.

In 2018, she received Spain’s prestigious National Dance Award for her ability to merge Spanish dance disciplines into a distinctive interpretative language and for her versatility and power as a performer. Her accolades include the MAX Award for Best Dance Performer (Un cuerpo infinito, 2020), the ACE Award for Theater Excellence (2016), and multiple others honoring her creativity and technical mastery.

Her latest work, La Materia (2023), premiered at the Temporada Alta Festival in Girona as the second part of a trilogy inspired by the iconic guitars of Antonio de Torres. The first installment, La Leona (2022), debuted at the Bienal de Sevilla and was celebrated for its raw honesty and feline flamenco power. Other notable works include Un cuerpo infinito (2019), La espina que quiso ser flor (2017), Pisadas (2014), and Bolero (2004).

Pericet thrives in collaboration, working with esteemed artists like Manuel Liñán, Marco Flores, and Carlota Ferrer. She recently joined forces with choreographer Daniel Abreu for La Materia. Beyond her stage work, she has choreographed for the National Ballet of Spain and the Opera of Oviedo. A fearless innovator, Olga Pericet continues to redefine flamenco with authenticity, creativity, and an unyielding passion for the art form.
