Why: Flamenco dancers direct from Spain
About:
"A musical savant, a charismatic personality and a master
improviser...Porcel commanded the stage, drawing much tension
from oases of repose, suddenly exploding into episodes of
staccato footwork" (Allan Ulrich, Voice of Dance).
A former star dancer with the National Ballet of Spain, José
Porcel has assembled a troupe of his country's most acclaimed
flamenco artists, renowned for performances that radiate emotion,
vitality, and intensity. A hit at Cal Performances in 2008, the
ensemble returns with "Gypsy Fire", a celebration of the most
famous style of this passionate dance form. Don't miss this
explosive program of evocative choreography performed by Porcel
and his 20-member company, featuring colorful costumes and
brilliant live music by an onstage ensemble.
