FLAMENCO EMPÍRICO

From February 16th to March 1st, the Mercat de les Flors will feature the series titled Flamenco Empírico. Proposed by the Mercat de les Flors, carried out in Barcelona and overseen by Juan Carlos Lérida and Belén Maya, the series invites flamenco to connect with social, cultural and political realities of our modern society. It is a program open to experience which will enable a perspective on the current state of evolution and transformation of flamenco dance.

Flamenco Empírico wishes to offer communication and the transmission of knowledge between professionals by way of creative workshops, showing new developments based on choreographed works by emerging creators, and offering venues for improvisation. There will also be a space for experimentation, for works in progress and the projection of documentaries and videos.

Flamenco Empírico brings together more than fifty performers who over a period of two weeks will work with the most contemporary flamenco. An experience that will be carried out with activities such as the following:

• Workshops – To transmit and teach a contemporary flamenco repertoire
• ‘Tócame las Palmas’ – Performers’ improvisation
• ‘Tapeos’ – A series of short experimental pieces of 5 to 10 minutes each.
• ’Sentando Cátedra’ – Conferences and debates among performers
• ‘Cadena de Favores’ – Counselling for young creators
• ‘Flamenco VHS’ – Films and documentaries related to flamenco
• ‘Exposicón en Movimiento’ – A photographic journey through the experience of current flamenco
• Performances and presentations of a variety of shows
