From Embassy of Spain:
LET’S FACE THE MUSIC AND DANCE is a compilation of several fragments from Teresa Nieto & Co. latest pieces. Special moments portraying a representative synthesis of the work, style and ‘landscape’ of the company: a journey through its twenty year long history.

The show is meant to be an ode to the enjoyment of dance and its beauty, embracing the audience with an eclectic and vibrant music selection.
“The performance provides us precious moments, feeling, the beauty of mundance image in its calmness. Teresa Nieto handles the aesthetic aspect well and it is clearly reflected in the layout of the show, the use of space as well as creating elegant and sexy dance. The selection of music also increases the dance’s depth and its humanity value.

This spectacle has been organised by Instituto Cervantes and the Embassy of Spain with the cooperation of the Spain Vietnam Friendship Association and the sponsorship of Vitexco, and is one of the events celebrating 35 years of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Spain.
