In celebration of its 30th anniversary as a dance company, Gelabert Azzopardi has revived one of its most emblematic productions, Belmonte, of which it now presents an updated version. First performed in 1988, it is considered to be one of the most influential works in the field of contemporary dancein Spain.
Belmonte is an abstraction of the world of bullfighting in choreographic, musical and plastic terms, which takes the extraordinary personality of Juan Belmonte (1892-1962) as a secret force of inspiration.
