For over 20 years, the Flamenco Festival has brought Spain’s greatest flamenco talents to New York City Center. An extravaganza of music, dance and unforgettable performances, this year’s festival features Eva Yerbabuena, Compañía Manuel Liñán and more to be announced.
Yerbabuena, “one of the world’s great dancers” (The New York Times), presents Yerbagüena (Oscuro Brillante), a culmination of her 20-year dance career. She investigates the tensions between nuevo and traditional styles of flamenco in a theatrical and expressionistic piece that contains echoes of Pina Bausch, punctuated by piercing musical accompaniment.
Liñán returns to City Center for one night only with the US premiere of Muerta de Amor—a powerful piece for seven dancers and five musicians that explores the universal need for intimacy and relationships and the obstacles that hold us back from finding them.
