Romeo & Juliet

The Barcelona Flamenco Ballet presents its most ambitious and revolutionary project: “Romeo and Juliet.” This new creation reinterprets the immortal work of William Shakespeare, addressing universal themes such as the struggle between love and hate, family and identity. The show redefines the original narrative through the passion of flamenco, with the subtleties of contemporary dance and the richness of jazz. An artistic proposal that, with its emotional depth and roots in tradition, becomes the perfect vehicle for conveying the anguish and passion of the protagonists.

‘Dance for Me’ is an exciting and innovative new show which aims to break down the boundaries between music and dance. It focusses upon the sensations and feelings associated with these two art forms, as opposed to the formalities of a traditional story and plot, although, of course, narrative elements will also be present.

Flamenco reborn

Barcelona Flamenco Ballet was founded in 2017 and had the premiere of its first show “Flamenco Reborn” in Barcelona. It became so popular that it was sold out and the event even became popular on social media. Due to its success it was publicised on important billboards nationwide, including at the “Teatro Reina Victoria” in Madrid. With this came more success along with more performances in the south of the country, as well as international Festivals.

More Contemporary

We have toured recently with these following productions. We can easily recuperate them on demand.

#beforedark

#Beforedark is a plea for dance and scenic arts in times of the pandemic. Artists, from all over the world, rise and shine in times of crisis, and the current situation has witnessed this once again. Artists continue helping society by providing an escape for us, and they will keep on dancing and making music, even in the darkest moments, until just #Beforedark.

Flamenco Beliefs

Flamenco Beliefs is a powerful and richly symbolic new production which showcases previously unexplored parallels between flamenco and religion (Christianity, Islam and Buddhism). The show provides a fascinating exploration into the particular pertinence of these subjects in Spain, highlighting their primary theme of tradition.

4 Women 4

This new Flamenco Ballet is made up of four female dancers plus two main dancers and four musicians. Through careful choreography and wardrobe, “4 Women 4” deals with the labour difficulties experienced by women and the changing family model, providing a historiographic revision of the evolution of women’s rights from the 19th century until today. 

Belen Maya

Twenty years ago, “Flamenco” by Carlos Saura, an indispensable film in the filmography of the flamenco song form, known as the cante jondo, premiered. In his film, the filmmaker director chose Belén Maya as one of the representatives of the new aesthetics of flamenco. Her image even inspired the promotional poster of the film. Belén Maya’s freshness, originality and personality captivated the prestigious filmmaker, who justified his choice with the eloquent phrase: “it doesn’t seem like flamenco”. 

Francisco Hidalgo

Francisco Hidalgo presents his new show “See, Listen and Dance“, under the stage production of Mariana Collado. This production is based on traditional flamenco and the ‘Cafés Cantantes’ (typical Spanish musical establishments in the 19th century) showing where he gets his inspiration from, be that from what he sees, hears or makes him dance. 

DJ & Flamenco

Now, Flamenco sounds like techno too. The dancing is still in the Flamenco style, but it adopts its own personal, electric, performative language. The resonant space and bass sounds are the basis for creating an atmosphere full of rhythms and textures, which come together to create a musically and pysically explosive mix.
