With the slogan «The Cutting Edge of Flamenco», the 6th edition of the Flamenco Bienal of Netherlands was presented.
It is to take place January 13th to 29th in the cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht, Amersfoort, Eindhoven, Maastricht and Antwerp.
For the sixth time, the Bienal de Flamenco de los Países Bajos is presenting an international selection of flamenco artists. The Bienal de Flamenco Netherland has championed the latest advances in flamenco since its creation in 2006, with major artists of the genre, as well as newcomers. This edition of the festival will offer a wide range of contemporary flamenco, with shows based on tradition, modern dance, jazz, classical, baroque, Indian and other types of music. For more than two weeks the festival will present the most diverse performances in over twenty venues in eight different cities. Forty shows and concerts complemented with an extensive program of master-classes and workshops, conferences, films and documentaries and amateur shows by children and adults. An ambitious and original program that includes two in-house productions, interpreted by a new generation of flamenco artists who look beyond the limits of flamenco.
Rocío Molina, standard-bearer of avant-garde women’s flamenco dance, accustomed to offering radically experimental performances, is always challenging herself, modernizing the flamenco tradition. Her new show “Caído del Cielo”, commissioned by the Théâtre Chaillot of París, strips flamenco of all routine and limits. Molina with be the “Dancer in Focus” of the current edition. The young generation of flamenco dancers is represented by Manuel Liñán who, along with José Maldonado, changes roles in the show “Reversible”.
Isabel Bayón will present her show “Dju Dju” directed by Israel Galván, which she presented at the 2016 Bienal de Sevilla. Bayón and two young dancers, Alicia Márquez and Nieves Casablanca will take on “demons and obsessions from flamenco’s inner world”, in order to exorcise them. Indian dancing, flamenco and modern dance will come together in Rebels Cross, the work of Dutch choreographer Kalpana Raghuraman for three dancers: Sooraj Subramaniam, Kamala Devam and Sara Cano. In this Festival de la Creation 2017, Raghuraman and Cano seek news means of expression, based on each one’s different dance contexts, classical Indian dance and flamenco respectivamente. Sara Cano will also present her own work, a short solo piece titled “A Palo Seco”, in which she unites Butoh dancing and flamenco with the help of a live flamenco singer and an audible landscape.
The Festival opens and closes with Fantasy for Violoncello and Flamenco, a joint production with the Bienal del Cello of Amsterdam, bringing together musicians from Spain, Iran, Turkey and Netherlands. Singer Rocío Márquez, Austrian-Iranian violoncellist Kian Soltani, Dutch violoncellist Ella van Poucke, Turkish virtuoso Derya Türkan and multi-instrumentalist Effén López, strings from all over the world will dialogue brilliantly with flamenco. Dancer Leonor Leal brings the spirit and rhythm of Southern Spain with unusual accents for this Creation del Festival 2017.
Rocío Márquez is the “Artist in Residence” for this edition, and she’s launching her new record with singer-author Niño de Elche. Baroque guitarist and lutist Enrike Solinís and Euskal Barrokensemble and the new singing talent, María José Pérez will interpret classic historical music.
