12 dec 2023 - Amare, Den Haag | IX Flamenco Biënnale Nederland Part 2 12.12-17.12.2023

VIVA!, the latest show by the internationally acclaimed dancer and choreographer Manuel Liñán, features six strong (wo)men who merrily subvert traditional flamenco codes. Dressed in the traditional bata de cola (long skirt with a train), mantón (shawl), and peineta (comb) the dancers playfully transition between gender roles.

Never has moving between genders been so light-hearted and powerful as in this performance. A flamenco playground where the vital primal power of flamenco is celebrated with unbridled enthusiasm. ¡VIVA! is an exuberant cry for freedom of movement, an expression of the body's polyphony. A candid tale about queer identity in the flamenco world. Bursting with joie de vivre and rhythms.
