Soledad Barrio, one of the world’s most electrifying dancers, is the star of Spain’s Noche Flamenca. “Her dancing is invariably charged with intense drama — remarkably so, even by the standards of flamenco, itself an inherently dramatic form,” writes a New York Times critic. “In her stance, her rhythm, the way she addresses the light, and the way she opposes head to shoulders, she goes straight for the expressive tension that seems to be at flamenco’s very heart.” Famous for its transcendent performances, Noche Flamenca, directed by Barrio’s husband Martín Santangelo, is the most authentic flamenco company touring today. Santangelo, who formed the ensemble with Barrio in 1993, brings to the stage the essence, purity, and integrity of one of the world’s most complex and mysterious art forms. “This Spanish flamenco troupe unleashes an emotionally gripping night of theatrical improvisations,” raves a reviewer for The Times Picayune of New Orleans, “in which dancers, guitarists, and singers interact freely.”
