Compagnia Espanola de Ballet Flamenco
«Flamenco is an individual and rebellious
scream that immobilises the body and releases
the extremities, drawing within a symbolic circle
the gestural expressiveness of the fire and bronze
of the bailaores» (M. Guatterini). To the
flamenco, synthesis and symbol of almost century-old
intercultural characteristics, Seville has decided
to devote a large museum (the largest exhibition
space in Europe dedicated to dance) inaugurated
in October 2006. Josè Greco, a member of
the most prestigious Spanish dance family in the
world and the heir to the great maestros of the
past, comes from Andalusia, the land of flamenco.
An artist gifted with a very individual talent
and artistic temperament, together with his Compagnia
Española de Ballet Flamenco, he presents
a classic of undying fame: Bizet’s Carmen.
A show that reflects the deepest roots and the
passionate temperament of the Spanish people,
an exciting journey in the heart of a culture
in which magic, passion and the mysterious enchantment
incarnated in the flamenco are exalted by the
virtuoso elements, the technique, the sensuality
and the talent of the dancers.
