Bodas de Sangre and Suite Flamenca

A bit of background…

SUITE FLAMENCA is a series of seven pieces of traditional flamenco, solos, duets and group dances that Gades presented with his own vision of flamenco dance. Gades’ interpretation, originally described as avant-garde, is now regarded as a classic. Enjoy the impeccable performance of Stella Arauzo and Miguel Lara, as well as the artists of the Antonio Gades Company.

BODAS DE SANGRE tells the story of a bride who flees with her former lover, now a married man with a son, on her wedding night. The furious groom follows them and a fight to the death ensues between the two men. Choreographed by Antonio Gades in 1974, this ballet is the essence of the work of Federico García Lorca, a poet and playwright, whose vision shows audience a glimpse of the old Spain.
