EL FLAMENCO EN CUATRO ESTACIONES

 

The company El Flamenco Vive, under the direction of Silvia Marín, wants to transmit its enthusiasm and passion for flamenco to children, with the hope and desire that they identify with the roots of flamenco and with part of the essence of its culture. This is the leitmotif of the third spectacle which the company has created specially for children: El Flamenco en cuatro estaciones.

A cast of seven artists, musicians, singers and dancers, stage the various flamenco styles and rhythms. The company communicates flamenco to the children in a clear, educational, entertaining way, so that they see it as an accessible, enriching musical expression and learn to value this universal, living art. It is a totally interactive experience: the children from their seats and the volunteers from the stage practice with the artists and learn to experiment with rhythm, melody and dance steps.

The show is divided into four parts: each one represents a season of the year and these in turn represent different varieties of flamenco singing, the more festive corresponding to the spring and summer, while the more solemn and dramatic correspond to autumn and winter. During the course of the show, verbal explanations are alternated with musical themes performed by the company.

The children become protagonists and in this way education and entertainment go hand in hand. Thus, El Flamenco en Cuatro Estaciones transmits a real, accessible image of this universal art.
