Festival Flamenco Alburquerque 36: Daniel Doña Compañía de Danza: Entre Hilos Y Huesos
6:30 pm
Sponsored by the Covington Family Fund
Festival Flamenco Alburquerque 36 presents Daniel Doña, winner of the 2019 Max Prize for best male dancer, and his awe-inspiring company of dancers and musicians to Festival Flamenco Alburquerque for the first time in the U.S. premiere of Entre Hilos y Huesos.
“What political passion or war tears apart, art can sew back together with its winged hands, with its subtle and invisible needle and thread.” – Gregorio Marañón
Entre Hilos y Huesos is the latest choreographic imagining of the company DDC Danza, directed by dancer and choreographer Daniel Doña. This work moves and shakes, it is poetic justice expressed from an avant-garde dance. It dares to move through tradition and contemporaneity, taking refuge in flamenco and the songs of yesteryear while overflowing and exploding in the current moment.
$50, $65, $80, $95
Run time: 120 min

Festival Flamenco Alburquerque 36: Patricia Guerrero y Compañía: Deliranza
8:00 pm
Sponsored by TourSpain
Festival Flamenco Alburquerque 36 presents Patricia Guerrero y Compañía in Deliranza. Winner of the 2021 Spanish National Dance Prize, the prodigious young dancer and her company immerse audiences into a performance of a thousand dreamlike adventures.
In Deliranza, Guerrero sets a work in a time conducive to creation and reverie: rehearsal time, where the creator, exhausted by the hours of work, rests and, like Alice, falls into a dream that makes her cross the limits of the everyday world. She breaks with logic enters into new, transformative worlds. As she descends into dreams, she encounters characters and obstacles, but above all the sounds of flamenco, the Soleá, the voice of a Granaína/Bulería or a Mariana… inviting the viewer to imagine and explore the sometimes lonely but gorgeous and dreamlike process of creation.
$50, $65, $80, $95
Run time: 90 min
