[…] Of these there has been none I have been so glad to discover as Noche Flamenca and, above all, its lead dancer, Soledad Barrio. I can think of no current ballet dancer in the world as marvelous as she." -- Alastair Macaulay About the Show: Noche Flamenca returns to their beloved New York with an evening of authentic flamenco to include several repertory works, stirring solos by the dancers and a new piece inspired by Ibsen's "La Dama del Mar/The Lady from the Sea." The new piece speaks about the struggle of a woman searching relentlessly for freedom and choice, who finds her solace in the strength of the sea. The sea, that archaic, unconscious, all-knowing savage whose silent stillness and ruthless crashing is likened to Flamenco itself. El Mar strips its heroine (Barrio) to her core confronting and questioning the confining morals and laws by which she must live. This dramatic and physical piece roots itself in the liberating essence from which Flamenco originally forged its fiery form to produce a graceful and savage scream for personal and social freedom. “… it is the depths of the soul and its unfathomable mystery to which these fine artists aspire. They confront nothing less than the mystery of life.” - John Heilpern, THE NEW YORK OBSERVER
