BALLET FLAMENCO
SARA BARAS

SOMBRAS

“When god was handing out talents, he must have tripped when he reached sara baras and dropped the
lot into her lap”– The independent (uk)
Beloved for her brilliant footwork and captivating stage presence, flamenco superstar Sara Baras (2015
Flamenco Festival) returns to City Center for their 75th season with a work commemorating the 20th
anniversary of her own company. Shadows combines Baras' devotion to the dances of her native Spain with
her unwavering commitment to innovation. Dancing alongside guest artist José Serrano and six dancers,
Baras reexamines and reinvigorates her trademark flamenco style La Farruca—a quick-footed, dramatic
dance traditionally performed only by men. Over the course of her career, La Farruca has been both a
springboard to her most celebrated successes and a shadow dogging at her dazzlingly percussive heels. In
this euphoric explosion of flamenco's classic gender roles, Baras and Serrano banish those shadows once
and for all. The couple's undeniable passion resounds throughout the stage, featuring vibrant scenic design
by visual artist Andrés Mérida that seamlessly integrates with the dance. The music, by company Music
Director Keko Baldomero, infuses flamenco rhythms with an array of other musical cadences from around
the world. A tour de force of female power and transcendence, Shadows is an evening with the "Queen of
the Spanish Moonwalk."

THE TOWN HALL

FARRUQUITO

IN CONCERT

"The greatest flamenco dancer of this new century" – The new york times

As the principal inheritor of the greatest Gypsy flamenco bloodline, Farruquito has made it his life’s
mission to share the purest form of flamenco on stages all around the world while further broadening his
influence by collaborating with the most paramount film directors, conductors and artists of our time.
With this new performance, Farruquito unveils his most personal side – staying true to the traditional
roots, while also presenting the current state of Flamenco. He will revive the best moments from past
performances while integrating new creations, always maintaining that special energy. With the presence
of the Bailaoras (female Flamenco dancers), Farruquito will capture the pure Gypsy essence present in
so many real-life moments with family, at weddings and other celebrations. This is something that cannot
be learned in a studio, it is learned through life experiences. He will also show improvisation, the origin of
Flamenco, without losing sight of the overall choreographic structure. Both of these elements are a part
of Farruquito's learning process. He constantly pulls inspiration from the different periods of Flamenco
that he has had the luck of witnessing in his life, along with the irreplaceable influence of Flamenco song
and guitar. He will expose his process and role as both musician and dancer. This performance is an original
creation of music, lyrics and choreography. Song, guitar, percussion – each musician plays a crucial role
in this creation and is not mere accompaniment – every person who sings, plays an instrument or dances
is the protagonist in this show. All of them unite, like the beautiful colored threads that come together to
create the spectacular shawl of Flamenco.

Presented by The Town Hall in association with Flamenco Festival.

styles of music. Its release immediately achieved him status as one of the most important artists of the

effect on people and tells us about emotions, enlightenment and freedom. Accompanied by "El Mati"
