Om koreografen - Daniel Mariblanca

Daniel Mariblanca Karin Jonkers

My name is Daniel. I am a transsexual person with a fluid gender identity. I was born in Barcelona 35 years ago. My passions are dance, performance, theatre and being on stage. The adrenaline kick I get from being on stage is irresistible. I also love music, particularly baroque music. Henry Purcell is my favourite composer, and I think that the voice of Philippe Jaroussky is extremely beautiful. I am married to an amazing woman. We have two fantastic dogs. I admire my mother. She gives me the unconditional love which allows me to be who I am, and the support to follow my dreams.

I am a dancer. I am a partner. I am a warrior. I am a creator. I am a lover.
I am a son and a sister and a brother.
I am.
