Flamenco!

Beauty, mystery, and passionate depths—flamenco arouses and captivates us. Despite its earthiness, however, its elusive nature defies easy definition. What is flamenco? Even its origins are buried in the shifting sands of time, with only its oral tradition guaranteeing our continual delight in its unique music, dance, and song.

The musical Forever Flamenco! tells the entrancingt story of four generations of a gypsy family from Granada: amidst its loves, joys, and sorrows, flamenco is transmitted from master teacher to mother to child to grandchild. The Cervantes Institute offers the first previiew of this spectacular musical with key scenes and the "duende" of flamenco music and dance.

Music and choreography by Soul & Duende Dance Company; script by Judy & Teresa Veramendi
