Duende Adentro: New Yorker Flamenco

This new production, by Al Margen Flamenco Company, uses later works by Federico García Lorca to investigate the concept of duende within an unsettling liminal space between self-realization and impending death.

Distancing themself from the passionate stereotype which traditionally is associated with el duende, María de los Ángeles and Ryan Rockmore re-imagine the concept inspired by the essay “La teoría del duende” - Duende’s Theory- and poems from Divan del Tamarit by Federico García Lorca.

Within this space of uncertainty, the acknowledgment that duende can only exist with the realization of our impending death becomes both unsettling and clear.
