Israel Galván | La Edad de Oro
Hailed as a superstar of the flamenco world, Spanish born Israel Galván will make his Australian debut at Sydney Opera House, as part of Spring Dance 2011. A revolutionary, Galván takes flamenco dance and updates it with a contemporary, avant-garde twist - resulting in a truly unique style.
“Like [Fred] Astaire, his art is uniquely satisfying… his solos are subliminal narratives” Financial Times, London
On a stripped back stage, Galván shares the intimate spotlight with cantaor, David Lagos, and tocaor, Alfred Lagos. Commanding the silence he first appears to move to his own inner pulse. His feet increasingly stamp out rhythmic patterns and then, the baile begins.
Spring Dance 2011 is Sydney Opera House’s annual season of dance, 23 Aug – 4 Sept. More Info...
