Duende

 
 
 

Flora Festival

Cordoba, Spain

Located in the historic Posada del Potro courtyard, once a haunt of Miguel Cervantes and now home to the Centro Flamenco, Duende draws inspiration from the movement of a flamenco dancer wearing bata de cola – a voluminous skirt that elongates the dancer’s body and allows her to create dramatic shapes that extend her natural form.
