THEATRE AND DANCE SPANISH MAX AWARDS, BEST MALE DANCER (Rafael Amargo)
2002 BEST DANCE SHOW OF EL PAÍS (newspaper) BEST DANCE SHOW OF THE DECADE 1993-2003 OF EL PAÍS (newspaper)
On April 2002, Rafael Amargo launches his new creation POET IN NEW YORK, with a world premiere held at the Lope de Vega Theatre in Madrid. This new show is inspired by the work of Federico Garcia Lorca that narrates the poet’s impressions during his stay in that city in 1929.
POET IN NEW YORK is a flamenco show, that carefully fusions tradition and contemporary dances as well as different sounds from Jazz to Latin music. It also includes poems recited on a big screen by Marisa Paredes (“All about my mother”), Joan Crosas (Actor) and Cayetana Guillen Cuervo (Actress).
Film Director Juan Estelrich is in charge of audiovisual effects and stage direction together with Rafael Amargo. Costumes have been designed by Antonio Belart (Spanish Max Award 2001- Best Costume designer “A little night music”). Music has been directed and composed by Edith Salazar (Composer-Singer-Piano). Special collaborations for choreographies by Manuel Segovia (Iberic Ballet Company Director and Choreographer) and Mario Maya.
POET IN NEW YORK world tour has raised a huge success in Italy at the Dei Due Mondi Festival in Spoleto and at the Ariosto Theatre in Reggio Emilia. It has also obtained the very same success in Buenos Aires at the Gran Rex Theatre and at the Opera Theatre. The world tour will continue through the rest of Europe, America and Asia.
POET IN NEW YORK has been presented in Madrid and Barcelona for three times in each city, and has been seen for more than 100.000 persons.

Rafael Amargo is eclectic either ways; as a dancer or as a choreographer. He had from his teachers the purest flamenco style, although he has cleverly assimilated any new conception of dance through the years, like the lessons he learnt at Martha Graham’s School during his stay in New York. Rafael Amargo´s choreographies overflow with both conceptions, perfectly matched on the stage: Tradition and Modernity. His choreographies are often closer to contemporary dance, but they never move further away from the starting point, the backgrounds: Flamenco.
He has always been in straight contact with the Arts and culture world; whom have helped him to open his mind to explore new horizons in his choreographies: Luis Gordillo and Esperanza D´Ors sponsored his career, Bruce Weber and Christopher Makosmade outstanding photo productions for him, he choreographed “Peine en el viento” by Eduardo Chillida, for the Chillida Leku
Museum in Hernani (Spain). Rafael Amargo has raised fans through his short career. Even uncountable celebrities have followed his steps from the start.
Though Rafael Amargo has always claimed the theatrical concept of Flamenco and the Spanish dances, (Just like Antonio Gades has), he has never given up Tablaos because he thinks Flamenco dancers should not get apart from the origins of this art.
Rafael Amargo and his shows have been awarded many times. He has received four Max Awards of the Scene Arts (The most important theatre distinction in Spain): two for the show AMARGO (Best Show and Best Male Dancer), one more for POET IN NEW YORK (Best Male Dancer) and one for EL AMOR BRUJO (Best Male Dancer). In September 2002, gets a “Positano Leonide Massine Prize” , in recognition for his work as a choreographer and a dancer. This award is the most important distinction given to Dancing in Italy. This very same award had been given before to Rudolf Nureyev, Maurice Bejart, Lindsay Kemp and other stars of Dancing and Ballet, and the APDE Award (Spanish dance and flamenco teachers association), together with Antonio Gades and Matilde Coral.
However, have been people who have received Rafael’s creations more keenly. Sold out theatres around the world, and many awards including three El País de las Tentaciones People´s choice awards: for Amargo(Best dance show 2000), and for Poet in New York (Best dance show 2002 and Best show of the decade) are a reliable evidence of his success.
