>> BAILABLES -World Premier
Rafael Estevez & Valeriano Panos Company.
A choreographic fantasy based on what was “danceable” and “not danceable” during previous centuries. In the 21st century the rigid rules of strict compass are replaced by openness allowing to take the Flamenco we inherited and express to all sounds- native and foreign, traditional and innovative flamenco acoustic and electronic, noise and silence.
The Company

premiere!
