Born from a New York call between Los Ricos, Sonia Olla, Ismael Fernández, and myself as a former Robert Wilson collaborator, this project evolved into a massive interdisciplinary performance at an iconic Barcelona landmark, connecting a contemporary performance with a large audience.
— Pedro Valiente

Legend of the Devil’s Bridge (2026) - Leyenda del Puente del Diablo is a massive, immersive contemporary Flamenco performance that transforms a Roman myth into a global live experience. Commissioned by the Martorell Municipality, this high-impact production gathers over 100 international and local artists to unleash the raw power of a landmark through original music, large-scale visual actions, and contemporary choreography.

The project was created by Los Ricos, the New York-based Spanish company led by dancer Sonia Olla and singer Ismael Fernández (Official Site I Wikipedia), with the collaboration of filmmaker Pedro Valiente, choreographer Marco de Ana, and musician Robert ‘Robi’ Svärd.
