La Ronde
Loosely based on the Arthur Schnitzler play written in 1890s Vienna, structured as a series of interlocking scenes between couples.
Choreographed by Artistic Director Martín Santangelo and principal dancer Soledad Barrio, with musical composition by guitarists Eugenio Iglesias and Salva de María, La Ronde moves between a series of duets to include various combinations of dancers, singers and guitarists, all given equal weight.
Creación
Noche Flamenca principal dancer Soledad Barrio and hip-hop legend TweetBoogie
Two women dancers from two distinct genres. It is the story of their life journey, motherhood...and their struggle to stay true to themselves, independent of the expectations of men……maintaining their spirit and conviction throughout.
Antigona
The idea to create a flamenco interpretation of the text and themes in Sophocles' Antigone began when Noche Flamenca's Artistic Director Martín Santangelo encountered the Living Theatre's production of the classic play and was struck by the battle between an individual, disenfranchised woman and the authority of the state and its patriarchy. The idea resurfaced in 2010 when judge Baltasar Garzon was suspended from the Spanish court for his efforts to publicly honor those who fought against Franco, allowing families to bury their relatives previously left in mass graves. This breach of democracy struck Santangelo as similar to the conflict in Antigone, confirming his belief that the story is alive and relevant today. At its heart, however, the story of Antigone resonates with the roots of flamenco, which is based not in any one culture or region, but on the strength of family. Antigone's story is her humanity and her quest to bury her brother, regardless of the circumstances.
