Flamenco Vivo presents TABLAO: An Intimate Flamenco Experience

TABLAO: An Intimate Flamenco Experience*

In Andalucía, nights sizzle and crackle with the energy of its famous tablaos. These café-style venues showcase flamenco at its most raw, creative, and authentic – where performers create by instinct and improvisation, showcase unbelievable technique, and create living art through the interplay between dancers, musicians, and audience. Now you can experience this Andalusian tradition in the intimate galleries of the Phillips Collection—featuring live music and an international cast of world-class artists from Spain, Mexico, and the United States. If you’ve never experienced flamenco before, we invite you to share this tradition—one that invites you to feel, more vividly. More alive. More you.

Presented in partnership with the Embassy of Spain.

This performance is generously sponsored by Barbara and Bob Hall and Dr. Heather McPherson.

*Please note: this is a change from the previously announced Cristina Aguilera Flamenco Trio. Additionally, the performance will now take place in the Mansbach Auditorium instead of the Music Room.

Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana is one of America’s premier flamenco companies with home bases in New York City and Durham, NC. We reach more than 30,000 people nationwide each year through inclusive programs that entertain, educate and empower. Our mission is to promote flamenco as a living art form and a vital part of Hispanic heritage; produce and perform high quality dance works; provide arts education programs that catalyze connections among young people; and nurture the next generations of flamenco artists and educators. We believe that the universal spirit of flamenco – with diverse influences from Roma, Arabic, Jewish, Spanish, African and Latin American cultures – gives this art form a unique power to build bridges between people. Hailed as “The Keeper of Flamenco” by Dance Magazine and honored by the King and Government of Spain with La Cruz de la Orden al Mérito Civil for “all the years of passion, excellence and dedication to the flamenco art,” Artistic Director Carlota Santana is an internationally-renowned flamenco and Spanish dance artist and educator. In 1983, she co-founded Flamenco Vivo with Roberto Lorca; following his death from AIDS in 1987, she was determined to continue their work. Under Santana’s artistic direction, Flamenco Vivo has premiered more than 30 original works, offering commissions to numerous flamenco artists from Spain and the United States; pioneered bilingual arts-in-education programs targeted to immigrant populations, and addressing the needs of students with disabilities; and piloted holistic artist development initiatives to support emerging flamenco artists at all levels.
