The North America Office of Duesseldorf Tourism and Duesseldorf Airport Announce: Flamenco Festival in Duesseldorf, April 11-21, 2014
Düsseldorf, Germany (PRWEB) April 10, 2014 -- The cool city on the Rhine is home to the steamy annual Flamenco Festival, the largest festival of its kind outside of Spain. This year’s Flamenco Festival (April 11-21, 2014) is a highlight for Flamenco lovers, 2,000 of whom will come to Düsseldorf from all over the world. The extensive program offers many opportunities to watch, study, and practice the dance genre’s contemporary avant-garde, and features six stage performances, of which four are Germany premieres, and Flamenco wizards such as Juan Carlos Lérida, Sònia Sánchez, and Juan Kruz Díaz de Garaio Esnaola. 17 workshops complement the performances. The festival takes place at Düsseldorf’s tanzhaus nrw (theatre for dance North-Rhine Westphalia).
Highlights
Juan Carlos Lérida is considered a top avant-garde artist by Flamenco experts, and his piece “Al Cante,” a German premiere, explores Flamenco singing through a theme of space travel and moon landing.
Juan Kruz Díaz de Garaio Esnaola, member of Berlin-based company Sasha Waltz & Guests, presents his new production “Romances,” a humorous dance piece inspired by Spanish romantic medieval literature and music, performed by dancers Rafael Estévez and Valeriano Paños, and singer Sandra Carrasco.
”Le ça. El Ello” is a solo piece by dancer Sònia Sánchez and is a non-musical exploration of the body’s memory and an expression of the sounds, positions, gestures, and melodies that inhabit her inner world.
The extensive workshop program offers many options for dance lovers at all levels. The offerings range from a beginners’ workshop offered by the venue’s popular resident docent José Manuel Sánchez Moreno to an advanced level four-day workshop titled “Soleá y Pataitas de Bulerías de Jerez” by Leonor Leal.
