Barcelona Flamenco Company Flamenco Reborn

Date: Jan. 21-22

Time: 19:30

Venue: Opera House, National Centre for the Performing Arts

Introduction:

Barcelona Flamenco Ballet fuses three dance styles including jazz, contemporary dance and flamenco, but the integration of the three results in a totally innovative onstage presence. The rhythm itself is "reborn" too, which constantly renews the dynamics of the performance, keeping it fresh and alive. These transitions from the exuberant outpourings of passion to quiet moments of intimacy mean that the production is constantly in fluctuation and in a process of reinvention.
