We bring to life stage productions, films, and international cultural initiatives in partnership with leading artists, theatres, and cultural institutions worldwide.
In 2018 Elena Sova, the founder of the company, was awarded the Kingdom of Spain’s Orden del Mérito Civil (Order of Civil Merit) for her outstanding contribution to the development and promotion of Spanish art.
“To me, this is more than an honour - it is proof that culture has the power to unite. Everything we do is driven by a love for art, a desire for dialogue and the creation of a space where connection and understanding transcend borders.” — Elena Sova
Where theatre, dance, music, and visual culture meet, stories are born - stories about the depths of the human soul, the quest for meaning, and the essence of inspiration.
For ten consecutive years, from 2011 to 2022, the festival drew over 5,000 attendees annually to the best venues in Moscow and St. Petersburg, including the Moscow Variety Theatre, the Russian Song Theatre, and the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall.
At its core, the festival aimed to nurture the artistry of Russian flamenco performers while opening a window to Spain’s rich flamenco heritage and its modern evolution. Through ¡Viva España!, Russian artists and audiences had the opportunity to engage with authentic Spanish culture and to learn directly from the living legends of flamenco.
The festival took pride in hosting global flamenco icons, including Eva Yerbabuena, Antonio Canales, Rocío Molina, Isabel Bayón, Alfonso Losa, among many others. Their spectacular performances showcased the profound depth and diversity of the art form, offering a true celebration for lovers of this passionate dance.
A cornerstone of the event was the Zolotaya Kentavrita (Golden Centaurita) All-Russian Flamenco Competition, where Spanish masters shared their mastery with Russian flamenco enthusiasts.
For the youngest participants, the festival organized Flamenkita, a dedicated stage where young talents could shine and feel the enchantment of flamenco firsthand.
At the core of our practice lie artistic freedom and intuition - in the pursuit of a language that is uniquely ours. We explore the human experience, creativity, love, and culture, and we are drawn to what remains hidden beneath the surface.
We produce films, music videos, video art, and original authorial projects. By weaving together history, visual storytelling, music, and diverse art forms, we craft pieces that inspire and open up new facets of perception.
Our Spanish school is nestled in the legendary Triana district of Seville - the historic cradle of flamenco. Overlooking the Guadalquivir River and orange groves, the school offers a unique atmosphere for studying this art form.
At Flamenqueria Sevilla, you can experience the raw intimacy of an authentic tablao, witnessing performances by leading artists and feeling the unforgettable energy of live flamenco.
Our projects extend beyond genre. We stage plays, original productions, festivals, and film screenings, creating unique events in collaboration with leading cultural institutions. We produce some films and plays from scratch, and we even assist with the production of others.
