How does María Pagés’ brain work? Where do her movements come from? What inspires her flamenco dancing? Starting with the staging of one of her latest shows, De Scheherezade, at the Roman Theatre of Mérida, this film delves into her creative process—one that she has shared for more than ten years with the poet, writer, and dramaturg El Arbi El Harti. In her way of understanding flamenco, she shows herself to us as a woman whose dance is a meditation and whose life has its center on stage.
