Of all the choreographies Flamencos en route has thus far created, "Ritual & Secreto" - currently premiering in Bern - has to be the most characteristically Spanish one; it is certainly one of the most captivating ones. There are not very many Swiss artists in the world of dance who can claim to have enjoyed a reputation beyond the Swiss borders for the past several decades. Brigitta Luisa Merki is one of the few exceptions. (...)
