BAILAORAS
A traditional flamenco performance that celebrates the strength, identity, and creative power of women on the flamenco stage.
Conceived and performed by Lourdes Fernández and Josie Laurel.
· ARTISTIC CONCEPT ·
Women have been fundamental throughout the history of flamenco, not only as performers but also as creators and exemplars of this art form.
However, their role in flamenco history has frequently been reduced to stereotypes or even erased entirely, despite the fact that women have made huge artistic contributions to flamenco and helped cultivate and maintain the art form by sharing it amongst each other - from artist to artist or teacher to disciple.
Inspired by key figures such as Carmen Amaya, La Niña de los Peines, La Paquera de Jerez, Matilde Coral, and Manuela Carrasco, Bailaoras pays tribute to the women who have shaped this art form.
· STAGE EXPERIENCE ·
The audience encounters a stripped-back and honest flamenco, where fierce footwork, precise movement, pause, and silence all hold equal expressive value. Close staging creates a direct and intimate connection with the audience, turning each performance into a living experience.
A vibrant quartet of musicians accompanies the two dancers.
