A Fleur de Peau

Description

La Compagnie Luisa was born from the meeting of two artists from Nîmes, Eva Luisa and Juan Manuel Cortes. For several years, they have passionately and authentically shared their art through their teaching and performances.
They surround themselves with talented musicians from France and Spain such as Alberto García, Niño de Elche, Kiko Ruiz, Antonio Moya, Cristina Tovar, Cristobal Corbel, Matias Lopez « El Mati » to name just a few.
Several creations mark their artistic journey: “Flamenco Por Dentro”, “Once we were birds”, “Mujeres en Cuadro”, “Acuérdate”. It is with the shows “N°5, PDF, Portable Demo Flamenco” and “Luisa 3 cube” that they begin to question the essence of flamenco and artistic research. In 2016, they created an intimate and personal show “A fleur de peau” which they inaugurated at the festival “Comme un festival” in Toulouse and also performed at the Avignon flamenco festival in 2016 and the international flamenco festival in Geneva in 2019. This show, through its dramaturgy and musical richness, gave birth to the first record of Compagnie Luisa. After more experimental creations, they wanted to return in 2017 to the roots of flamenco and reinvest the traditional repertoire with “Diviértete”. This show was performed at the Rivesaltes flamenco festival, in Schiltigheim (Printemps du flamenco) as well as in Nîmes, Toulouse, and Geneva.
Their latest creation “Amanecer es Amar” is the result of their experience of motherhood. An optimistic testimony about Life, about savoring the beauty of the present moment and letting go of what is not essential.
