Tickets £14, £11 concessions or on the door on the night - but limited seating!
In the opening days of the Civil War in 1936 Spain's greatest modern poet and playwright was brutally assassinated by a gang of fascists, one of the earliest acts of brutality in a vicious war that was to tear Spain asunder for 3 years and become a rehearsal for World War Two.
Acclaimed as one of the greatest poets of the 20th century Federico Garcia Lorca distilled into his works the very essence of Spain and his native Andalucia, the searing heat and riotous colours, the joys and passions, the comedies and tragedies.
Leading Flamenco Dance company Cancion Gitana have created a new and unique dance biography of the brief, extraordinary, life of this remarkable poet, his friendships with the artists Bunuel and Dali, his fascination with Gypsy culture and his passionate love of fiery Flamenco dance and song.
Choreographed by Helena (Sadlers Wells, BBC TV, Channel 4) and Rosario Serrano (Ballet Rambert, Duende Flamenco Company), the international company of dancers, guitarists, singer and narrator feature Helena, Rosario Serrano, the rich cante jondo voice of Fernando Reyes accompanied by the passionate Flamenco guitars of De Casas and Orson.
In a 120 minute spectacular of 18 scenes with many costume changes, narration and dramatic poetry in Spanish and English, projections and striking lighting, Cancion Gitana create Flamenco dance theatre of a kind very rarely seen on UK stages, a passionate and dramatic re-telling of the life and death of an artist, a man destroyed by savage forces as the country he loved was torn apart. Phone Bookings: 01892 678678.
