A poet will do the translation of the poems before they are showcased in dance. The classical music compositions will be performed in a contemporary style to enhance emotions. The poet’s readings and music will be simultaneous.

La Shica (Dancer & Vocalist)
La Shica represents,a really new and fresh fusion that has already gained the respect of specialists and audiences. The young group has managed to impress with their Flamenco Fusion.

The body and soul of La Shica (in Spanish: the Girl) is the charismatic lead singer Elsa. Elsa grew up in Ceuta (Spain) moving to Madrid as a teenager with a clear purpose: to become an artist.
