This performances brings the ACT Presents season to a close with a dazzling show full of drama,intensity and bravado. Alluring dance, Sevillan silk shawls, Spanish bata de cola (long train dress),
castanets, uttering fans and epic footwork all bring the story to life.

direct from Spain; Ivan Vargas Heredia --
--and Emilio Ochando. Ochando, is a six-time premio champion
and bailarin from Royal Conservatorio, Ballet Nacional de Espana & Nuevo Ballet Espanol.

Rodriguez is recognized asone of Spain's most expressive and innovative artists, and many aficionados will recognize him as the
musical director of Nuevo Ballet Espanol. The voice of powerhouse Flamenco singer Vicente Griego “El
Cartucho” resonates the production along with the sonorous tones of cellist “La Sirena”, and rhythmic
groove of flamenco cajon by Italian percussionist, Davide Sampaolo.
