Popular and innovative Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana returns with Quinto Elemento (Fifth Element), an evening-length work by acclaimed choreographer Patricia Guerrero, winner of Spain’s National Dance Award, with an original score by Francis Gómez performed live. Featuring Flamenco Vivo’s world-renowned international cast of dancers and musicians, the work explores the invisible essence that connects all things. Guerrero is hailed by The New Yorker as “a master of tradition who dares to deconstruct the art form.”
Founded in 1983, Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana is one of America’s premier flamenco companies with home bases in New York City and Durham, NC. They reach more than 30,000 people nationwide each year through inclusive programs that entertain, educate and empower. Their mission is to promote flamenco as a living art form and a vital part of Hispanic heritage; produce and perform high quality dance works; provide arts education programs that catalyze connections among young people; and nurture the next generations of flamenco artists and educators. They believe that the universal spirit of flamenco – with diverse influences from Roma, Arabic, Jewish, Spanish, African and Latin American cultures – gives this art form a unique power to build bridges between people.
