We define whatever is different, special, strange and perhaps unique, with the word "peculiar," an adjective we apply to people or things that don’t fit in with the orthodox view of how they ought to be when all is said and done. Maybe, too, in how we dance? This flamenco dance company is dedicated to innovating from an abstract perspective. It dispenses with academic views and reclaims the freedom to explore, break with stereotypes—and not just in choreographic interpretations but also in the music and the concepts that are brought on stage. The thrust of the show here, in fact, is the opposition between a real world represented by the bailaores and bailaoras  present on stage and the artists who personify the virtual and digital world in the recorded video-dance.

Ana Morales performs both on stage and in the video-dance piece, in an attempt to bring visibility to the body’s response to her own digital image. She dances for herself and visualizes her own “ego” in a perfect image so that each person, in the digital world of networks, creates their own image to offer to others. The music for this video-dance piece is from an artist who, as in the rest of this show, is also "peculiar": Raül Refree who creates timeless sounds.
