Oh, fleet-footed flamenco! It’s impossible not to be mesmerized–especially when the show is choreographed by one of the most innovative, risk-taking artists in the genre. Combining classical elements with brand-new approaches and a modern attitude, Rafaela Carrasco’s personality-driven work has netted heaps of awards, including the Spanish National Dance Award from the King of Spain, Felipe VI.
Discard any preconceived notions of the traditional flamenco show. This evocative masterpiece combines the dance with Bach’s Goldberg Variations, and original live singing with musicians. Romantic spoken poetry and poignant moments of silence guide us through this nightscape of different moods and emotions. Vibrantly costumed, baring their fears and desires, the dancers take the audience on a captivating journey through darkness and dawn.
