Paco Peña Flamenco Dance Company: Solera
2 performances between Fri 15 & Sat 16 Nov 2024, 19:30
Paco Peña Dance Company create the perfect blend of flamenco, inspired by the qualities of a Solera wine... grace, distinction and age.
Enter their rehearsal room where energetic young dancers and musicians come together with the expertise of older artists as they explore the genre together. Flamenco after all is not a written tradition, but one handed down through generations.
They then take to the stage with a performance that is both quiet and celebratory, incorporating what has been created before while constantly striving to find new ways to express.
