Everybody knows that flamenco takes place at night—darkness is the only proper backdrop for such a raw, emotional experience. But the moment before is so full of possibility—when light clashes with darkness, when the oranges and reds of sunset sink into the purple mystery of starry night. It has a name in Spanish– “Anochecer.”

Neither day nor night, a moment of stillness before the storm of pulsing handclapping, rapid-fire footwork, piercing voices and heartbreaking guitar. A’lante Flamenco presents “Anochecer” at the Ground Floor Theater August 3rd & 4th, 2018. Two magical evenings of flamenco music and dance. 8pm. Tickets: $18.
