To celebrate the centennial of the Iberia suite, a piano composition by Isaac Albéniz, a group of Spanish dancers and artists perform a series of inventive interpretations of Albéniz' music. Over the course of 12 different "impressions," ranging in variety from traditional flamenco to ballet and modern dance, each representing a different section of the suite, the dancers perform within stark sets, contrasted with dramatic imagery, and without narration.

A powerful portrait of the Spanish spirit, particularly the gypsy culture of Andalusia.

Both richly textured and exquisitely choreographed, Iberia is one of the most fully realized expressions of love for the art of movement.

The music from Isaac Albéniz has a special taste. It could be pretended basically in genre of European classical music of middle ages which is tasted with Flamenco and has some spices of Arabic music (Appearance of mini-tones which is a characteristic of music of middle east). Scenery sequences of choreography with presence of talented dancers and famous musicians has prepared a successful documentary which is magnificent and touches one's soul.
