Inspired by the Greek mythical character Circe, this show invites you to reflect on the powerful feminine creative energy that is present within flamenco dance.
Circe’s Chords brings together music, dance, and literature, offering audiences a unique take on the ancient art form of Flamenco, infused with Latin American and world music sounds.
Led by Venezuelan dancer and choreographer Chachy Peñalver, the performance features four renowned musicians and three stunning flamenco dancers, building a strong narrative filled with powerfully loaded movements and distinctive percussive footwork.
This journey ignites vibrant conversations with the audience by showcasing the intriguing darker and brighter sides of human nature in all its extremities.
