Chicago Flamenco Festival 2026. Irene Morales Raw
Rooted in Granada and shaped by Spain’s foremost stages, Morales embodies a dance language that unites precision and instinct, control and vulnerability. The work seeks a state of essentiality—a flamenco pared down to its core, where gesture, sound, and silence uncover emotional truth. Through the interplay of electronic textures, live instruments, and visceral rhythm, RAW opens new terrain for flamenco while remaining grounded in its pulse. Morales’s presence gives form to a living tradition—immediate, luminous, and profoundly human—where flamenco is not fixed in time but continually rediscovered through the body.
Irene Morales began her formal training at the Conservatory of Granada before moving to Madrid to continue her studies at the prestigious María de Ávila Superior Conservatory. During her time in the capital, she combined her studies with performances in several companies, including those of Miguel Ángel Bernal and Rafael Aguilar, and most notably in 2019, when Eva Yerbabuena invited her to join the production Lorca y la Pasión with Marina Heredia, presented at the Generalife Gardens. This marked her return to her hometown of Granada. With remarkable artistic maturity, Irene has been performing since the age of 18, both as a solo artist and with her own company.
