In 2024, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting the presentation of Juana ficción by La Ribot & Asier Puga.

Thirty years after the creation of El triste que nunca os vido, La Ribot returns to the figure of Queen Joanna I of Castile, in collaboration with Spanish conductor Asier Puga. After sinking into depression following the death of her husband, Juana I de Castilla was stripped of her crown and imprisoned in Tordesillas. Driven by natural light and lively music, Juana ficción restores a body to a woman erased from political history. In a sonic journey through time, the show creates dialogue between the dance of La Ribot and the compositions of Iñaki Estrada in a circle which brings the dancers and the audience together around the orchestra, in turn encircled by a vibrant choir. In this concentric labyrinth, Renaissance spirit, jazz and techno accents decorated with electro bring to life the passion of this fallen and humiliated queen, eternal lover of the arts.
