The Bienal de flamenco launches its flashmob
For years, one of the most eagerly awaited events for flamenco lovers has been the launch of the Bienal de flamenco flashmob. It is one of the most eagerly awaited audiovisual pieces, which was launched in June so that it can be danced anywhere in the world on the11th of September.
A choreography that marks the beginning of the 16th edition.
The flashmob has been conceived as a tutorial to encourage learning. It has been recorded in one of the most innovative spaces for this edition of the Bienal, the Muelle Camaronero, on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, where the Bienal’s «Noches únicas» shows will take place, such as «Vengo de mi Extremadura» with Guadiana, Juanfra Carrasco, Miguel Vargas and Juan Vargas; «Puente Mágico» with Gualberto and Ricardo Miño; and «Territorio Jerez» with Juana la del Pipa, Ezequiel Benítez, David Carpio, Manuel Monge and Manuel Valencia.
On the11th of September the Plaza de América in María Luisa Park will host the opening speech by the dancer and choreographer Sara Baras. Afterwards, the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía will perform this piece to the rhythm of “Río de la miel” by Paco de Lucía, kicking off the 2024 edition. Thus, the Bienal will be officially inaugurated, through a popular event that, for the first time, will take place in the same space.
A unique show
From the 11th of September to the 5th of October, the Bienal will take place in Seville with an unbeatable programme. Tickets purchased between 1 and 31 July will receive a 5% discount. Emblematic places such as the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo, the Muelle del Camaronero and the Real Alcázar will be some of the settings for this unique and special event.
Together with the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía
The Ballet Flamenco has obtained a multitude of achievements and successes from the public and critics. It plays a fundamental role in attracting new audiences and disseminating Andalusian culture, being a reference in the professional field of dance for having established itself as an artistic and professional springboard for Andalusian artists who have been part of its cast, as has been the case of great figures of dance. It is directed by Patricia Guerrero, who was Giraldillo of the Bienal in 2012 as “Artista Revelación.”
The Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía is a project of the Instituto Andaluz del Flamenco of the Agencia Andaluza de Instituciones Culturales of the Junta de Andalucía. While the Bienal de Flamenco is a project of the Instituto de la Cultura y las Artes del Ayuntamiento de Sevilla (ICAS) and has the institutional collaboration of the Junta de Andalucía, through the Consejería de Turismo, Cultura y Deporte; and the Diputación de Sevilla.
