ALTERNATE

The art of bullfighting is a reflection of life itself, change of direction, presenting an alternate who you trust to stand-in for you, promenading, dragging out the dead, running around the arena, getting caught, back to the pen, being awarded the much-coveted bull's ear... Don't these things happen to everyone in the bullring of life? Others sit by and watch, wearing their hats, smoking their cigars, sitting in the shade and smelling only of perfume. Don Antonio Canales is like a top-class bullfighter, he carries a small cape (unlike those impostors who carry large capes) and he aims to confirm his student Amador Rojas as a great flamenco dancer. Just as he did before with Sara Baras and with a whole generation of young dancers. Canales is a generous artist, being, dancing, walking... He'll dance like what he is: one of the greatest... Great dances por tangos that will go down in history. He'll also present the great promise and reality that is Amador Rojas at the Canal Theater.

What happens when two outstanding flamenco dancers from two different generations share the same stage? The experience of one of the greatest flamenco dancers the world has ever seen contrasts with the youth and contemporary feel of the new generation. Antonio Canales is known to all and it almost seems superfluous to mention of the quality of his craft on stage. The audience is fond of him, loves him, adores him... Now Canales presents his protégée, just as a great bullfighter would do in the bullring, delegating his authority in a new talent that is leaving audiences around the world dumbfounded: Amador Rojas. The two dancers perform hand-in-hand before an audience anxious to see new versions of flamenco like the one presented in this show: Alternativa. (ALTERNATE).
