A flamenco dancer and a breakdancer spar, accompanied by Ricardo Garcia on flamenco guitar. While one dancer breaks, locks and pops, the other pounds the stage with her heels. They goad and cajole each other without saying a word, and the air crackles with pride and tension.
Compared to the percussive, proud stance of the flamenco dancer, the breaker seems positively soft, sweet and comic in his rubber-soled sneaks and trackies. Their showdowns are epic battles between opposing yet complementary styles.
Fusing flamenco with breakdance, driving guitar and an overwhelming feeling of confidence and joy, this production will likely be a hit of the Fringe.
A must-see.
