Select a Date
MACHO FLAMENCO- BOYS DON’T DANCE, is a mythical journey that explores the role of “machismo” in Flamenco, challenging the traditional role of the male bailaor (dancer) or the cantaor (singer) who are often portrayed as strong, forceful, and independent, commanding the stage autonomously. Through integrating this macho tradition with the freedom of spirit, suffering, and vulnerability often found in the female’s role as Flamenco dancer, MACHO FLAMENCO hits a unique balance and proffers a fascinating story of one man’s deconstructing his life as an Artist, embracing his Anima, and “rising from the ashes” of traditional expectations into a new and unique form of expression through Flamenco.
