Art3 Brings ‘FALLA · LUZ Y RAÍZ’ to Ibiza in a Multidisciplinary Tribute to Manuel de Falla

13 November 2026

Ibiza's artistic company Art3 will bring music, dance and theatre together at Can Ventosa on Saturday, 14 November, with the premiere of ‘FALLA · LUZ Y RAÍZ’, a multidisciplinary production celebrating the legacy of Spanish composer Manuel de Falla.

The performance, scheduled for 20:00 at Espai Cultural Can Ventosa, marks the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth in 1876. Supported by Ibiza Town Hall, the production offers a creative interpretation of his musical world through live music, lyrical singing, Spanish and contemporary dance, poetry, theatrical performance and visual projections.

Rather than presenting a conventional classical concert, Art3 has developed a theatrical experience in which music, movement and words combine to explore the composer's artistic identity, his connection with popular Spanish traditions and the continuing influence of his work.

The performance will last approximately one hour.

Art3 Creates a New Tribute to Manuel de Falla

‘FALLA · LUZ Y RAÍZ’ is an original production by Art3, the Ibiza-based artistic company formed by soprano Lucía Herranz, dancer and choreographer Rocío Osuna, and pianist Elvira Ramon.

The three artists have worked together for more than 15 years, developing a distinctive approach that brings different performing arts disciplines together.

Their previous productions include ‘Homenaje a Lorca’ and ‘Coplas y tangos’, demonstrating their interest in combining music, movement and theatrical expression.

For this new project, the company expands its artistic team with flautist Úrsula Pomar, guitarist Toni Muñoz and actress Julia Marí, who provides the narrative thread connecting the different parts of the performance.

A dance ensemble also joins the production, adding further movement and visual expression to the scenes.

Music, Dance, Poetry and Theatre Come Together

The production explores Manuel de Falla's musical universe through a combination of artistic languages.

Live music and lyrical singing are accompanied by Spanish and contemporary dance, while original theatrical dramaturgy and poetic texts guide the audience through different atmospheres.

Lighting and visual projections also play an important role, helping to create the atmosphere and connect the musical and theatrical elements.

The intention is to move beyond a traditional concert format and offer audiences a more immersive interpretation of Falla's compositions and creative influences.

The result is a performance that connects the composer's musical roots with contemporary artistic expression.

Exploring Some of Manuel de Falla's Most Important Works

The musical journey includes references to several of Falla's best-known compositions, among them:

  • ‘Siete canciones populares españolas’.

  • ‘La vida breve’.

  • ‘El sombrero de tres picos’.

  • ‘El amor brujo’.

The programme also incorporates music written for piano, flute and guitar, allowing the different instrumental voices to contribute to the production's varied sound.

The performance looks beyond Falla's own compositions to acknowledge artists who influenced his creative world, including French composer Claude Debussy, poet and playwright Federico García Lorca, and artist Pablo Picasso.

Another notable inclusion is ‘Almoraima’ by Paco de Lucía. Its presence creates a musical bridge between Andalusian tradition and newer artistic languages, reinforcing the production's exploration of cultural roots and contemporary interpretation.

Who Was Manuel de Falla?

Manuel de Falla Matheu was born in Cádiz on 23 November 1876 and became one of the most internationally recognised Spanish composers of the twentieth century.

His musical language brought together Spanish popular traditions, Andalusian influences and wider European musical developments.

After studying in Madrid, he spent several years in Paris, where he encountered important composers and artistic movements of the period. He later settled in Granada, where his work became closely connected with the city's cultural life.

Among his most celebrated compositions are ‘El amor brujo’, ‘El sombrero de tres picos’, ‘La vida breve’ and ‘Siete canciones populares españolas’.

Falla left Spain in 1939 following the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War and spent his final years in Argentina, where he died in 1946.

His 150th birth anniversary is being commemorated throughout 2026 with concerts, exhibitions and cultural activities supported by institutions including Spain's Ministry of Culture and the Manuel de Falla Archive Foundation.

The Ibiza production forms part of this wider anniversary celebration, offering a local interpretation of the composer's enduring musical legacy.

A Celebration of Musical Roots and Contemporary Creativity

With ‘FALLA · LUZ Y RAÍZ’, Art3 presents a personal perspective on the composer's work, focusing on the relationship between tradition, creativity and artistic evolution.

The production brings together musicians, dancers and theatrical performers in an exploration of how music can connect different generations and artistic disciplines.

For Ibiza audiences, it also offers an opportunity to experience the work of an established local company and its collaborators in a production created specifically around one of the most important figures in Spanish musical history.
