| The great artists of Southern Spain, Gypsy or Flamenco, singers, dancers, musicians know that emotion is impossible without the arrival of “ duende”.. The duende is not in the throat: the duende surges up, inside, from the soles of the feet.Federico Garcia Lorca (from his 1933 lecture titled: “Play and Theory of the Duende”) |
| The synergy among song, guitar and dance has a long and revered history in Spain, and the birth of Flamenco digs deep into the soul of the performers. Two live performances this weekend on the Windhover stage will highlight this art form with dancers in full regalia performing to the emotive sounds of the singers, the clappers and the guitarists. |

Tickets can be purchased in advance here for the Sat. 7:00pm performance , here for the Sun. 3:00pm performance, or at the door if space allows. This is United Flamenco’s third summer performing at Windhover, and they have taken up residency on the campus for a week beforehand in order to create new work that stretches the boundaries of traditional Flamenco. Come enjoy the intricate rhythmic footwork, the collaboration between the musicians and dancers, and the emotive tone of the “Cuadro Flamenco” experience. The performances run approximately 90 minutes with an intermission. Spanish wine and bottled water will be served. |
