Las mujeres que Habitan en mí. Irene Lozano
From renowned flamenco dancer Irene “La Chiqui de Málaga” Lozano comes the new show Las mujeres que habitan en mi, a stunning tribute to women and the possibilities that have influenced her life and art.
“The women who live within me, those whose lives I have not been able to live and those whose lives I have been able to live. Due to the circumstances of life and the profession to which I have dedicated myself since I was 4 years old, there are many moments as an adolescent girl and woman that I could not live, as well as experiences that made me become an adult very soon. There are many women who have made me who I am today and have influenced what my dance has become. All the women I wasn’t and the women I lived.” – Irene Lozano
