Soledad Barrio and Noche Flamenca
Soledad Barrio and Noche Flamenca directed by Martin Santangelo make a long awaited appearance in Philadelphia at the historic Plays and Players Theatre January 15th-February 2nd.
For over twenty-five years Noche Flamenca has brought to stages world-wide the essence, purity, and integrity of one of the world’s most complex and mysterious art forms without the use of tricks or gimmicks. All aspects of flamenco- dance, song, and music- are interrelated and given equal weight, creating a true communal spirit within the company – the very heart and soul of flamenco.
Deemed by The New York Times as “one of today’s great dancers of any genre,” Soledad Barrio performs with some of Spain’s most celebrated flamenco artists in Entre Tu y Yo (Between You and Me), an evening-length program of duets, solos, and ensemble works. The program opens with an exploration of the duet form, and builds to a cathartic finale with a semi-improvised solo for Barrio, touching on themes of love, passion, jealousy, and death. “[This is] flamenco puro — the Spanish art stripped to its flammable core” (The Financial Times).
