Event information

FLAMENCO - SILENCIO - Rebeca Ortega from Spain

Join us for an evening of passion, rhythm, and intensity - an unforgettable authentic flamenco performance by Seville's elegant and accomplished dancer, Rebeca Ortega, UK's leading flamenco guitarist Ramón Ruiz, accompanied by the deeply soulful voice of Natalia Marín also from Seville.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of Andalusia, with traditional and modern flamenco artistry.

From the deepest roots of flamenco, this theatrically spun dance show is born from the tradition of flamenco culture, shaped by the luminosity of the alegrías, the depth of the taranto and seguiriya, the rhythms of the tangos and bulerías and the jondura of the soleá and the farruca.

SILENCES

From the tradition and avant-garde of flamenco culture, this dance performance is theatrically woven together, accompanied by traditional flamenco musicians, and expressed through the depth of the seguiriya, the femininity of the guajira, the intensity of the farruca, and the rhythms of the jaleos and bulerías.

In a world filled with internal dialogues and an excess of noise and information, are we truly in control of our decisions? Often, we are overwhelmed by anxiety, hindering our mental calm.

As a result, there arises a need to reflect on the value of silence in our society, in a flamenco piece full of passion, strength, and elegance.

“She has it all: Beauty, a stylised and flexible body, elegance, finesse, charisma, rhythmic sense that prints a way of dancing with its own identity. Rebeca Ortega's dance defines her…” Aquí Madrid

“…she is the imperious, dancing focal point, her steps beating furious, intricate tattoos under a long train that she swishes, lifts and manoeuvres with marvellous dexterity and no little significance…” Herald Scotland
