From January 16th to February 3rd 2015, the fifth edition of the Dutch Flamenco Biennial will be held. Ten years bringing flamenco to the most important cities of Holland, ten years of creativity and imagination, a process of constant renovation in each edition.
The Festival travels to 5 cities in Holland: Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Utrecht, The Hague and Eindhoven. More than 40 shows of dance and concerts with a full program of master-classes, workshops, lectures, cinema, photography exhibits, culinary flamenco parties, children's shows…
This edition will receive the biggest flamenco stars from the major festivals: Belén Maya and her “Invitados”, Marina Heredia, El Pele & Farruquito, the latest work of Israel Galván, this time with Akram Khan in “Torobaka”, Andrés Marín with Kader Attou and Divana Ensemble de Rashastan in a world premiere “Yatra”, Estévez / Paños / Ruz company wit Artomatico & Sandra Carrasco with Danza 220V, Rosario Toledo with her “Aleluya Erótica”, Guadalupe Torres' “Acuérdate Cuando Entonces”, in addition to the guitar representation in honor of Paco de Lucía, with Dani de Morón and José Quevedo 'Bolita', while Cañizares will present his most recent work of Falla with mezzosoprano Christianne Stotijn.
The main theme of this edition of the festival is “Crossroads”, a place for musical dialogue and unexpected encounters of musical forms and different dance genres, a diverse audience and mixture of performers, all laid out on the three pillars of guitar, singing and dance. Jazz, modern dance and music, barroque music, Indian and oriental music.
