Talia Awards

Actress Mina El Hammani, who will return to the Mérida International Classical Theater Festival this summer to play Helen of Troy in ‘The Troyan Women,’ has been awarded the 2025 Young Talent Talía Award.

Before even knowing what being an actor meant, Ricardo Gómez had already stepped onstage at a theatre. Now, after staring in plays like ‘Mammón’, ‘Red’ or ‘The Pillowman’ in recent years, he receives the Young Talent Talía Award.

There is one thing that Spanish dancers of yesteryear and today have in common: talent. A talent which, while overcoming adversities like the lack of opportunities, leads them to perform on all five continents and receive many prestigious awards.

Flamenco has a past, a present, and a future thanks to figures like Kiki Morente. Loyal to his father Enrique Morente’s transformative legacy, this artist revisits classic flamenco singing without turning his back on modernity in his next album, ‘Azabache’.

The Talía Awards, in collaboration with Iberia, have recognised flamenco singer Kiki Morente and actress Carolina Yuste with the Young Talent Award. They succeed dancer Sergio Bernal and actress María Hervás on the list of winners.

As president of the Academia de las Artes Escénicas, Cayetana Guillén Cuervo has promoted the Talía Awards, prizes that seek to recognise the work of a sector that she learned to admire as a child.

The name of dancer Sergio Bernal reverberates around the world of dance. For this reason, the first edition of the Talía Awards has decided to grant him the Emerging Talent Award.

The Talía Award for Young Talent goes to... María Hervás! This actress from Madrid has embodied some of the most acclaimed female characters in Spanish theatre in recent times.
