Following El Salto and Baile de Bestias, Jesús Carmona, recently appointed Director of the Spanish Ballet of the Community of Madrid, concludes his trilogy of shows based on exploration and inner knowledge with this new production.

Súper viviente is based on and inspired by dissociative disorders, mental disorders that involve a lack of continuity between thoughts, memories, environments, actions, and identity.

Using dissociative identity disorder as an excuse, he will explore the change in his sense of self, in his behavior, and especially in his motor function—his strong point as a performer. What would happen if the best dancer of the moment faced different physical and psychological difficulties to discover the limits of what it means to be human?

A show in which scientific research and the support of a team of psychologists will be fundamental to the creation of something that, we know, will go beyond the stage.

MARÍA CABEZA DE VACA
Dancer and choreographer. She holds a degree in Hispanic Philology and a diploma in classical ballet, and trained in contemporary dance at the CAD (Andalusian Dance Center).

He has developed his professional career as a performer in dance and theater companies such as "Provisional Danza" (Madrid), "La Imperdible" (Seville), "La Permanente" (Seville), "Metros" (Barcelona), "Erre que erre" (Barcelona), etc. 

In June 2001, she created her first dance piece for the opening of the Itálica International Dance Festival. She continues her career as a creator. Since 2007, she has participated as a performer and choreographer in productions by Guillermo Weickert, with visual artist Ro Sánchez, and with French choreographer Emmanuelle Santos.

She won the 2009 Escenarios de Sevilla Award for Best Female Dance Performer and the 2010 Best Female Dance Performer Award from the Association of Dance Professionals in Andalusia for her role in Días-pasan-cosas. In 2014, she was selected by the European platform AEROWAVES as a "Priority Company." In February 2018, she premiered Cabeza de Vaca (2018) at the Teatro Central in Seville.

JESÚS CARMONA
Born in Badalona in 1985, he began his flamenco training at the age of 7. He graduated in Spanish Dance and Flamenco from the Institute of Theater and Dance in 2003 and furthered his artistic training with the most relevant performers and creators of the time. He has been a member of companies such as El Güito, Nuevo Ballet Español, and Antonio Canales, among others. In 2006, he joined the cast of the Spanish National Ballet, where he rose to the rank of principal dancer and participated as a guest artist in subsequent years.

His restlessness as a creator and performer prompted him to leave his position at the BNE to create his own projects, giving rise to the Jesús Carmona Dance Company, as well as collaborating as a creator on projects by other artists and companies.

Among other awards, he has won the Benois de la Danse Prize 2021, the National Dance Prize 2020, the Ojo Crítico RTVE Prize 2019, and two MAX Awards for 'Baile de Bestias' (Dance of Beasts), for best show and best performer in 2022.
