As a choreographer he’s equally remarkable”—The Guardian

Famed as “modern flamenco’s great rule breaker” Daily( Telegraph), acclaimed Spanish flamenco dancer Israel Galván is an artist known for his flare and eccentricity, and for pushing the boundaries of flamenco tradition. In Fla.co.men, Galván experiments with the form in a wildly energetic performance that nods to the likes of John Cage and Pina Bausch. Galván’s dancing fills the stage with its avant-garde spirit, riffing off of the equally talented musicians playing his musical accompaniments and their chosen instruments.

Considered a genius in his native Spain, superstar Miguel Poveda’s nuanced and soulful voice is unrivaled in the world of flamenco. He possesses a strong technique and a charming presence on stage making each of his concerts a unique musical event, “singing like no one you will have heard before” (Graham Watts). Poveda takes the audience on a tour of the traditional musical forms of flamen- co, from the more cheerful malagueñas and alegrías to the more sorrowful seguirillas and soleás, all the while sharing his personal connection to the music with a spontaneity that ensures a completely exceptional performance. He will be accompanied on stage by four great artists: Jesús Guerrero (guitar), “El Londro” (voice and palmas), Paquito Gonzalez (percussion), as well as Gypsy dancer Antonio Molina “El Choro.” Presented in partnership with The Town Hall.

Triumphant, reckless, and lyrical, Caída del Cielo (Fallen from Heaven) is a celebration of the female body. Known for her technical virtuosity and conceptual daring, Rocío Molina is a formal visionary who reinvents classic aesthetics to prove flamenco is more alive than ever. Molina’s show shakes up the traditional guitar, cajón, and clapping hands combination with a drum kit and electric guitar. Starting her journey wearing the bata de cola, the image of a bailaora, Molina draws on both the traditionally male movement and the animalistic mannerisms of the bullring as she explores gender, sex, and flamenco itself in a powerful celebration of womanhood.

All performances at New York City Center presented by New York City Center in partnership with Flamenco Festival and made possible by the Howard Gilman Foundation and the Harkness Foundation for Dance.

Working with her longtime collaborator El Arbi El Harti, Pagés’s swift and incisive choreography draws from a variety of flamenco styles, weaving her art form with a multitude of texts, images, and movement languages referencing Stravinsky, Picasso, Fosse, Borges, and Plato. An Ode to Time transcends the traditional staging of flamenco with its changing nature and diverse forms. Rapidly developing choreographic structures appear and disappear, following each other, almost like the rhythm of a slide projector. Set to original music–with vocals accompanying violin, cello, and Spanish guitar–the piece provides an artistic reflection on the relentless pass- ing of time and its effects on the body, desire, art, and life.
