Elegía-Homenaje Choreography: José Antonio Elegia, to words by the choreographer himself and called by him an "avowal of fidelity", forms a tribute to dancer and ballet-master Antonio Ruiz Soler, to whom José Antonio was extremely close at the outset of his own career. Antonio Ruiz Soler was one of the first to enrich Spanish folk dances with elements of ballet, bringing his works closer to the classical performing style.

El Café de Chinitas Choreography: José Antonio Vídeo: Production: David Campassol, Josep Bayo Guest Flamenco Singer: Esperanza Fernández The scenography reproduce the original designs created by Salvador Dalí The production of the ballet El Café de Chinitas to music from famous songs by Federico Garcia Lorca marks a return to the age of the birth of the cafés chantants, performances in which were a kind of "training school" for several generations of Spanish artistes. The most popular were El Café de Chinitas in Malaga, El Café de la Bolsa in Madrid, El Café de Silverio in Seville and El Café Villa Rosa in Barcelona, where there were performances by stars of the first magnitude. In this ballet, José Antonio recreates the atmosphere of the first performance of El Café de Chinitas, created in the early 20th century with sets by Salvador Dalí and first performed at New York's Metropolitan Opera in 1943. José Antonio's ballet with original sets by Dalí immerses audiences in a world of passions and grief, as tiring as the intense summer sultriness and as bright as the blue skies of Spain.
