" The flamenco tell us about the human being. It describes it in all its splendour ad its deepness, in its own essence".

Eva Ordóñez : Flamenco dance : Studies of its rythm and its aesthetic.

    Flamenco vivo, is a generous show, hightly couloured, emotionaly rich, which express the values of an ancestral tradition.

  
Dancer's gesture, power of the song, guitars' chords... take the audience trought the flamenco's vertiginous spirals.
The audience get surprised by the repertoire wealthy juggling with "farruca's" sobriety, "martinete's" and "soleá's" distress, "bulería's" mischievousness, "alegría's" freshness, "gipsy tango's" sensuality...
Soft and nostalgic sequences follow purple passages performed by accomplished artists. Sumptuous costumes, reflecting the athmosphere of each act, will make you get in the magic of the show.
    A Lorca, a homage to the great Spanish poet throught the performance of his collection "Cantares populares".
