A’lante Flamenco explores Love using their own unique brand of fiery flamenco music and dance.
Within flamenco there are as many different interpretations of life as there are ways of loving in the world. We can sing and dance passionately, with great suffering, or quietly, with longing and nostalgia. We can play the guitar slowly, savoring every note, or thump it mercilessly in a rhythmic explosion. We can hear the beat of the hands and feet as an unrelenting, headlong sprint in pursuit of….what? Life? Death? Or get lost in the exquisite silences between notes that seem to expand to encompass a whole landscape: the place where, as the poet Rumi says, “lover, loving, and beloved are one.”
“Love Letters from a Flamenco Heart” is not only a love letter to flamenco, but also an exploration of the different ways of loving. Always intensely personal, and never the same experience twice. Join us on November 18 and 19th at the Dougherty Arts Center for three unique performances, as we try to describe our love for flamenco through music, dance and song.
