If you thought flamenco was just about clattering feet and waving hands, think again. Spanish doyenne Maria Pages turns the dance style into an art form with the expressiveness of ballet—and her performances in Tokyo always draw packed houses. This month’s tour sees Pages presenting her new Mirada (“look”), which gazes back at her company’s first 20 years and features direction, choreography, music, lyrics and costume design by Pages herself.
