Don't Miss Noche Flamenca!!!

Cast includes Alejandro Granados, El Chupete as well as special guest dancers - Rebeca "la Tomasita" and Sol "la Argentinita" from Pasión y Arte!
About the show...
Noche Flamenca returns to their beloved New York with an evening of authentic flamenco to include several repertory works, stirring solos by the dancers and a new piece inspired by Ibsen's "La Dama del Mar/The Lady from the Sea." The new piece speaks about the struggle of a woman searching relentlessly for freedom and choice, who finds her solace in the strength of the sea. The sea, that archaic, unconscious, all-knowing savage whose silent stillness and ruthless crashing is likened to Flamenco itself.
El Mar strips its heroine (Barrio) to her core confronting and questioning the confining morals and laws by which she must live. This dramatic and physical piece roots itself in the liberating essence from which Flamenco originally forged its fiery form to produce a graceful and savage scream for personal and social freedom.

Grand Re-Opening
We've done a bit of renovating.....due to an insanely demanding schedule, Phillyflamenco founder "Alegria" Joy Gant is unable to continue to maintain the website. So, Flamencophile has stepped in. My hope is to continue using this website as a means to keep current on flamenco happenings in and around Philadelphia, PA while linking it with my blog in which I document my own experiences as a student, an aspiring dancer and obsessive flamenco afficionado. Many thanks to Joy for setting it all in motion and for 2 her years of service. |  |
