Conversation with Manuel Liñán on Contemporary Flamenco: Art, Resistance, and Gender
Tuesday, March 31, at 5:30pm at Time & Space Limited

In this critical conversation, Manuel Liñán and a group of panelists will question flamenco conventions: structure, withdrawal from existing images of masculinity and femininity, and more.

Open to the public.

A new generation of younger flamenco artists is redefining this traditional music and dance art form for the twenty-first century. PS21’s Beyond Flamenco features three of the evolving genre’s most exciting young innovators. Patricia Guerrero, born in Granada in 1990, Eduardo Guerrero, a thirty-six-year-old native of Cadiz, and Manuel Liñán are in the forefront of a new generation of younger flamenco artists.

On March 15 and 20, 2020, Patricia and Eduardo will appear in separate programs in the PS21 Black Box Theater. Members of Compañía Manuel Liñán will lead movement workshops for local school students on March 29, 30, and April 1. On March 31 at 5:30 pm TSL: Time & Space Limited will host Contemporary Flamenco: Art, Resistance, and Gender, a conversation with Manuel Liñán.

Rising star Patricia Guerrero, regarded as one of Spain’s most original dancemakers, is “taking flamenco into highly expressive new avenues” (The Times). A work of power and beauty, Proceso Eterno (Eternal Process), with musical direction by illustrious flamenco guitarist and composer Dani de Moron and featuring singer Sergio “El Colorao” of the Saga of “Coloraos” of Granada, combines modern and traditional elements of flamenco into a choreographic stream of consciousness that is both playful and contentious, performative and private. Patricia’s antiphonies with her percussionist and singer have been compared to “duets that become duels.”

An intimate and dramatic blend of styles by this innovative modern master of Spanish dance, Desplante probes both the nineteenth-century minera flamenco of the Sierra Cartagena region and the flamenco dancer’s signal (or llamada) to the singer and the guitarist that the rhythm is about to change. A dancer since the age of six, Eduardo Guerrero’s style combines fury and elegance, athleticism and flawless technique.

“With a contemporary air that exalts—rather than obscures—flamenco tradition, and a technique and stamina that boggle the mind, Eduardo Guerrero’s professional trajectory has done nothing but skyrocket…” Dance Magazine, 2018

Proceso Eterno and Desplante are made possible with generous support provided by Acción Cultural Española AC/E and INAEM (Ministry of Culture and Sports).
