“Verònica” is a duet that incorporates the principles of composition inspired by ornamental flowering, as well as permutation, combination and discovery of its own unique signs. Drawing from the poetics of Mallorcan floral arrangements and embroidered tapestries, both of which freeze the passage of time, memories are unveiled and woven by the two dancers with the calm and patience characteristic of those who are in the moment, like older women. Verònica is a tribute to the immobile beauty of life.

It is a group created during the academic year 2016-17 within the subsidiary choirs of the Coral Universitat de les Illes Balears, at the proposal of the Coral UIB singer Lidia Fernández, who is its principal director.
